Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stanmer

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Stanmer, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlord and trade work in Stanmer

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

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
