Non-slip bath coating in Shipton-on-Cherwell

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Shipton-on-Cherwell

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Shipton-on-Cherwell?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Shipton-on-Cherwell

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet 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:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

If you manage property in Shipton-on-Cherwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What affects the price in Shipton-on-Cherwell

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shipton-on-Cherwell. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • 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, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Shipton-on-Cherwell questions

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.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will it make a mess?

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