Non-slip bath coating for Hailey homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Hailey

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hailey

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we’re called out for in Hailey

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Clients usually contact us about:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

The process

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Repairing versus replacing in Hailey

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What affects the price in Hailey

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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

Hailey: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you cover Hailey?

We do. We send a technician to Hailey for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
