The things clients usually mention when they call are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Choosing a repair company

About our non-slip bath coating in Wattston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

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. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • 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.

Wattston: your questions answered

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Are you accredited?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you cover Wattston?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  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, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ML6 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Wattston

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
