Trusted non-slip bath coating in Waterbeach

Non-slip bath coating in Waterbeach, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What we can’t put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Waterbeach: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Any details about the material

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

If you are in Waterbeach and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Waterbeach customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

Landlords, agents and businesses in Waterbeach

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
