Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Margarets use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in St Margarets

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in St Margarets

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your TW1 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, 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. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
