What we can’t put right

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stoke Heath

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Take a look at our prices page.

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stoke Heath

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stoke Heath as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we are called out for in Stoke Heath

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Customers usually contact us about:

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

Choosing a repair company

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Stoke Heath

Do you work in Stoke Heath?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stoke Heath for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We come back with a fixed price. There’s no obligation to book.

Is there any odour?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
