Non-slip bath coating for Shillingford homes

Shillingford questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you come to Shillingford?

We do. We send a technician to Shillingford for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Non-slip bath coating in Shillingford without replacing anything

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 frequently lifts.

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.

Honest limits

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shillingford

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common problems we fix in Shillingford

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the colour is matched
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Shillingford. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Shillingford, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
