About our non-slip bath coating in Portwood

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 technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Portwood

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Portwood as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Portwood

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What affects the price in Portwood

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

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Portwood, and we will reply with a fixed price.
