Non-slip bath coating in Sutton St Michael

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sutton St Michael

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, 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 will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we are called out for in Sutton St Michael

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Sutton St Michael?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • One visit for most repairs

See our full price list.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Common questions in Sutton St Michael

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Will I see the coating?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How soon can you come?

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

How do I clean it?

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

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What affects the price in Sutton St Michael

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you are in Sutton St Michael and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
