Trusted non-slip bath coating in Ham

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ham

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our pricing.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Ham

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

What affects the price in Ham

There is no area surcharge for Ham. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ham use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Advice

Common questions in Ham

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are you accredited?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ham?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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 damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ham?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
