About our non-slip bath coating in West Bexington

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in West Bexington, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we are called out for in West Bexington

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What we cannot put right

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for West Bexington

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Dorset.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

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 repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we’ll quote them together.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for West Bexington. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
