Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating in Ousby without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Ousby as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Ousby?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ousby. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our prices page.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Ousby. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ousby use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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