Landlord and trade work in Spike Island

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Non-slip bath coating in Spike Island, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Spike Island and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Spike Island

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show

Honest limits

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Common questions in Spike Island

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Spike Island and the rest of Bristol. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Repair or replace in Spike Island?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, 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. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
