Non-slip bath coating at your home in Potterspury

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Potterspury

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

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

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

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

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Potterspury

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

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’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

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

Materials we work on in Potterspury

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

What affects the price in Potterspury

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

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 reply with a fixed quote.
