How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

About our non-slip bath coating in Stranton

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, 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.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Send us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Stranton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Common questions in Stranton

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

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 quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Stranton included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you work in Stranton?

We do. We send a technician to Stranton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Common problems we fix in Stranton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
