Non-slip bath coating at your home in Thurstaston

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Wirral. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Thurstaston

Do you cover Thurstaston?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Thurstaston and the rest of Wirral. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Related advice

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Thurstaston

There’s no area surcharge for Thurstaston. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CH61 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What we are called out for in Thurstaston

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the colour is matched

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
