About our non-slip bath coating in St Columb Minor

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

St Columb Minor: your questions answered

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Do you come to St Columb Minor?

We do. We send a technician to St Columb Minor for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Are you accredited?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Letting agents frequently send us photos 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.

When to call us in St Columb Minor

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
