About our non-slip bath coating in Newtown

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Newtown

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

FAQs for Newtown

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

  • Outdoor surfaces

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