About our non-slip bath coating in Sotby

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Sotby as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Landlord and trade work in Sotby

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Lincolnshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Sotby

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

FAQs for Sotby

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Sotby.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Repairing versus replacing in Sotby

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Sotby. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Read our full price list.

What affects the price in Sotby

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is

Compared with replacing, 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.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your LN8 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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 normally the cheaper route.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
