Trusted non-slip bath coating in Stretton

Non-slip bath coating in Stretton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Stretton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Stretton is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

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 price without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Stretton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stretton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price
