Non-slip bath coating for Hallowood homes

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Non-slip bath coating in Hallowood without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hallowood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hallowood?

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

FAQs for Hallowood

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you charge for travel?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Hallowood. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
