Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Sheffield Bottom

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover the whole of West Berkshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sheffield Bottom

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Sheffield Bottom and across West Berkshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

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

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sheffield Bottom. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

We will 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Sheffield Bottom

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

Common reasons people in Sheffield Bottom contact us are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
