About our non-slip bath coating in Postcombe

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Postcombe

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

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

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What affects the price in Postcombe

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Oxfordshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace in Postcombe?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
