Repairing versus replacing in The Pry

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Pry. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in The Pry

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Open a window if you can

How to compare quotes

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in The Pry

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Will I see the coating?

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

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

When can you do it?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you come to The Pry?

We do. We send a technician to The Pry for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
