Non-slip bath coating for Wych Cross homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Non-slip bath coating in Wych Cross, done in place

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. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Wych Cross questions

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

How do I clean it?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Wych Cross included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

What affects the price in Wych Cross

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it

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

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave 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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Wych Cross, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
