Non-slip bath coating in Rosehill without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically 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. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

What we can’t put right

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Rosehill: your questions answered

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Rosehill

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Repair or replace in Rosehill?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before booking

See our prices page.

What affects the price in Rosehill

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Most customers in Rosehill 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.
