What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, 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. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.

Non-slip bath coating in Walton, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Walton and want a price, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Walton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

FAQs for Walton

Is there any odour?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Are there extra charges for Walton?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

How soon can you come?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

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 adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

When to call us in Walton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What prep work is covered
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
