Book non-slip bath coating in Tompkin

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Tompkin

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

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Tompkin

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover the entire of Staffordshire?

All of Staffordshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Repair or replace in Tompkin?

Instead, you could go for 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. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Tompkin clients choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common problems we fix in Tompkin

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
