Non-slip bath coating in Rivers' Corner without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Rivers' Corner and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Rivers' Corner questions

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Rivers' Corner.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Dorset, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When to call us in Rivers' Corner

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Rivers' Corner

For anyone letting property in or around Rivers' Corner, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Get a quote

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

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Rivers' Corner

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
