Non-slip bath coating near Halliwell

Non-slip bath coating in Halliwell without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, 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. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BL1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Halliwell. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

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

What we are called out for in Halliwell

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers generally mention when they call include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What preparation is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Halliwell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

FAQs for Halliwell

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What happens after I send photos?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you come to Halliwell?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
