Need non-slip bath coating in Walstead?

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Non-slip bath coating in Walstead, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Walstead questions

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you cover Walstead?

We do. We send a technician to Walstead for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

When to call us in Walstead

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Walstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Repairing versus replacing in Walstead

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
