Landlord and trade work in Sotterley

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Non-slip bath coating in Sotterley without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Sotterley

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Sotterley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sotterley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Sotterley

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.

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

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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.
