DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

About our non-slip bath coating in West Cross

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

West Cross questions

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How do I clean it?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in West Cross

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
