Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Princetown

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Non-slip bath coating in Princetown, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Princetown and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Princetown

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Princetown

The alternatives are 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Princetown

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What affects the price in Princetown

We charge the same across the UK, including Princetown. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode

Most customers in Princetown get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
