About our non-slip bath coating in Newbourne

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One visit for most repairs

Common questions in Newbourne

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Newbourne

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

If you manage property in Newbourne, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

What affects the price in Newbourne

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Newbourne. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not 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 often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
