Need non-slip bath coating in Foxholes?

Foxholes: your questions answered

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Foxholes?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will I see the coating?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

All of Hertfordshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Foxholes

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Foxholes

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Foxholes. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: 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.

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
