About our non-slip bath coating in Newsham

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

When to call us in Newsham

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Newsham

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the whole UK

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Common questions in Newsham

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newsham as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Newsham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.
