How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no area surcharge for Sandfields West. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sandfields West

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will it make a mess?

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

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally 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. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
