Non-slip bath coating for Fernhurst homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Fernhurst. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

About our non-slip bath coating in Fernhurst

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. 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. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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 generally the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we work on in Fernhurst

  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays

Landlord and trade work in Fernhurst

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fernhurst as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Fernhurst

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Fernhurst questions

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will I see the coating?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
