Non-slip bath coating for Hale homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hale

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hale and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

What affects the price in Hale

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Hale questions

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What areas do you cover?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Repairing versus replacing in Hale

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Hale

Smooth surfaces are 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.

The things clients generally mention when they call include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

10 questions to ask before booking

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we can’t do:

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