Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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

About our non-slip bath coating in The Green

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common problems we fix in The Green

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Green. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in The Green

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, 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 we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Common questions in The Green

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Cumbria.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens if you find more damage?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in The Green?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you come to The Green?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to The Green. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.
