Non-slip bath coating in Temple Sowerby

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CA10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating in Temple Sowerby, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Landlord and trade work in Temple Sowerby

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How it works

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
