About our non-slip bath coating in Winkhill

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Winkhill

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We can’t 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Winkhill?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Winkhill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

What we are called out for in Winkhill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
