About our non-slip bath coating in Pennycross

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Pennycross

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Pennycross. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Common questions in Pennycross

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we are called out for in Pennycross

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

Clients normally contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in Pennycross

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
