Need non-slip bath coating in Old Town?

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. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs

Non-slip bath coating in Old Town 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. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

If you’re in Old Town and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Old Town

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.

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

FAQs for Old Town

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Old Town

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
