How we handle non-slip bath coating in New Basford

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in New Basford and across Nottingham. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in New Basford as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

New Basford questions

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Common problems we fix in New Basford

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
