When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Smallridge

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

Non-slip bath coating in Smallridge without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Smallridge

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Smallridge. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Smallridge

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Common problems we fix in Smallridge

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What prep work is covered
