Trusted non-slip bath coating in Shawford

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shawford

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Shawford

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Shawford

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

  • Outdoor surfaces

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

What we work on

Questions from Shawford

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Shawford?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Shawford. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
