Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

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

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Paulsgrove

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Paulsgrove

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Paulsgrove as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Paulsgrove. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Paulsgrove

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Advice

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Paulsgrove

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
