What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

About our non-slip bath coating in St Margarets

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in St Margarets and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

When to call us in St Margarets

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to St Margarets. The price comes down to:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Landlord and trade work in St Margarets

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Questions from St Margarets

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in St Margarets?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, St Margarets included. There is no extra charge for travel.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Repairing versus replacing in St Margarets

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. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.
