Non-slip bath coating near Wilton

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Wilton

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s 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.

Repairing versus replacing in Wilton

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Landlord and trade work in Wilton

For anyone letting property in or around Wilton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What affects the price in Wilton

There’s no area surcharge for Wilton. What changes the price is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs

If you are in Wilton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

FAQs for Wilton

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you cover the whole of Cumbria?

Across the UK, so Wilton is covered. Prices do not change with location.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.
