Scawby questions

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, generally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Scawby?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Non-slip bath coating in Scawby without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Scawby

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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 to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlord and trade work in Scawby

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Repairing versus replacing in Scawby

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Scawby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Scawby

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
