Book non-slip bath coating in Stoke Row

When we’d advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating in Stoke Row, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Oxfordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Stoke Row. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and 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.

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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 the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Stoke Row

Do you cover Stoke Row?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Stoke Row and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

What do you need from me?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
