Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stoke-by-Clare

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits 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, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Stoke-by-Clare

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you work in Stoke-by-Clare?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Stoke-by-Clare from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Stoke-by-Clare and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Stoke-by-Clare. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

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.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
