How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hamsterley

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. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hamsterley as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Hamsterley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Hamsterley: your questions answered

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Do the materials smell?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Hamsterley?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we are called out for in Hamsterley

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 clients usually mention when they call include:

  • 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

10 questions to ask before you book

What we can’t put right

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your photos

See our pricing.

What affects the price in Hamsterley

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
