Non-slip bath coating at your home in Windmill Hill

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

We guarantee the work for a year. 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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Windmill Hill

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Windmill Hill, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

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

When to call us in Windmill Hill

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
