Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sandy Cross

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. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Sandy Cross and across East Sussex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Sandy Cross: your questions answered

Is it messy?

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

Are there extra charges for Sandy Cross?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover Sandy Cross?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sandy Cross. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What affects the price in Sandy Cross

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Sandy Cross

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • What happens if they find more damage

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
