Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating in Monkswood, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Monkswood as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Monkswood

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

For a price in Monkswood, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Monkswood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths

Common questions in Monkswood

Do I have to be there?
