Trusted non-slip bath coating in Upper Winchendon

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Non-slip bath coating in Upper Winchendon without replacing anything

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. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

We guarantee the work for a year. 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

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

For a price in Upper Winchendon, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Upper Winchendon questions

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will the price change on the day?

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

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
