Non-slip bath coating near Stewartby

Landlord and trade work in Stewartby

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

About our non-slip bath coating in Stewartby

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Stewartby. The price reflects:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stewartby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Repair or replace in Stewartby?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us
