Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northleigh use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
For anyone letting property in or around Northleigh, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Non-slip bath coating in Northleigh without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Northleigh
The alternatives are 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
FAQs for Northleigh
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What happens next?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What information do you need?
Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

The process
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Open a window if you can
How to get a price

Advice
When to call us in Northleigh
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Honest limits
A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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’ll say what we think before you book.

What affects the price in Northleigh
There’s no charge for travel to Northleigh. The price comes down to:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
Send pictures for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
