Non-slip bath coating in Southey Green

What affects the price in Southey Green

There’s no area surcharge for Southey Green. The price reflects:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most clients in Southey Green get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

About our non-slip bath coating in Southey Green

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Southey Green, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

What we are called out for in Southey Green

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become 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
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Before you book anyone

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Southey Green questions

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do you cover the entire of Sheffield?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Southey Green

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 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 generally the cheaper route.
