When a repair isn’t the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating in Pembles Cross, 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 it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Pembles Cross

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Pembles Cross. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What affects the price in Pembles Cross

We do not charge extra for travel to Pembles Cross. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. Try to include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When to call us in Pembles Cross

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
