Landlord and trade work in Tranch
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
Non-slip bath coating in Tranch without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We don’t charge extra for travel to Tranch. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Tranch. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What happens on the day
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
Ask for a price
For a price in Tranch, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

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

Questions from Tranch
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
