Non-slip bath coating near Thorpe Tilney

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

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

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Thorpe Tilney

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Thorpe Tilney

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Landlord and trade work in Thorpe Tilney

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Common questions in Thorpe Tilney

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of Lincolnshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Thorpe Tilney included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Thorpe Tilney

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, 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, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
