Trusted non-slip bath coating in Sibton

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Non-slip bath coating in Sibton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Sibton?

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. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

What affects the price in Sibton

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

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
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.
