About our non-slip bath coating in Spott

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Spott

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Spott as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Spott. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What affects the price in Spott

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

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Most customers in Spott get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
