How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Hadlow Down. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

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 photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Hadlow Down, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating in Hadlow Down without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hadlow Down as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Hadlow Down

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Are there extra charges for Hadlow Down?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

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

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hadlow Down use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
