How we handle non-slip bath coating in Oakham

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. 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.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Oakham?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again

Questions from Oakham

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover Oakham?

We do. We send a technician to Oakham for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Sandwell. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Oakham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 work on in Oakham

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

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
