Trusted non-slip bath coating in Scragged Oak

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Scragged Oak

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Landlord and trade work in Scragged Oak

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

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Scragged Oak questions

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there any odour?

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

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
