Trusted non-slip bath coating in Hammerwood

When to call us in Hammerwood

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating in Hammerwood without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Hammerwood and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hammerwood

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hammerwood as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

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

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hammerwood

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you come to Hammerwood?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Hammerwood and the rest of West Sussex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
