When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Radcliffe

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Radcliffe. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

FAQs for Radcliffe

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

How do I clean it?

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

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Repairing versus replacing in Radcliffe

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Radcliffe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Radcliffe

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
