Non-slip bath coating in Hale

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Most clients in Hale get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Non-slip bath coating in Hale, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Hale as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Hale

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

How the visit works

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

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Hale: your questions answered

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SP6 postcode.

Will I see the coating?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

When to call us in Hale

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

Should you replace it?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?
