Trusted non-slip bath coating in The Lymes

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in The Lymes use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

About our non-slip bath coating in The Lymes

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in The Lymes and across Staffordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What affects the price in The Lymes

We do not charge extra for travel to The Lymes. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
