About our non-slip bath coating in Upper Woolhampton

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Upper Woolhampton

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Upper Woolhampton

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

When to call us in Upper Woolhampton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
