Non-slip bath coating in Oldbury

FAQs for Oldbury

Do you cover Oldbury?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Oldbury from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will there be a smell?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Non-slip bath coating in Oldbury, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Oldbury

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oldbury use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Oldbury?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether the price covers travel

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your TN15 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
