What affects the price in Spexhall

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

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’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Non-slip bath coating in Spexhall, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Spexhall, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Spexhall?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • One visit for most repairs

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you quote from photos?

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
