Common problems we fix in Talkin

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Non-slip bath coating in Talkin without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right, on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Talkin and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Talkin. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Talkin. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work 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

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

What we work on

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

Talkin questions

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

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.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is my repair covered?

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

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Talkin?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Talkin?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Talkin. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
