Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stour Provost

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Dorset. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Stour Provost: your questions answered

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

When we would advise against a repair

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Stour Provost. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Stour Provost

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Stour Provost

Instead, you could go for 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Landlord and trade work in Stour Provost

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.
