Trusted non-slip bath coating in Bower Heath

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bower Heath

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Bower Heath questions

Which areas do you work in?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

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.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Bower Heath.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

For a price in Bower Heath, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Bower Heath clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Read our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What we are called out for in Bower Heath

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.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Aftercare advice
  • How the colour is matched
