Landlords, agents and businesses in Saltwood

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Saltwood as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Non-slip bath coating in Saltwood without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. 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.

FAQs for Saltwood

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Are there extra charges for Saltwood?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens next?

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

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Saltwood. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • The material

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

What we can’t put right

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
