Non-slip bath coating in Hales

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

About our non-slip bath coating in Hales

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths

When to call us in Hales

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What prep work is covered
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Hales 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add 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?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Work done at your home or business
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Questions from Hales

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
