Non-slip bath coating for Hanwell homes

Non-slip bath coating in Hanwell 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. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in Hanwell

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repairing versus replacing in Hanwell

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Hanwell: your questions answered

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Hanwell. Prices don’t change with location.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Does someone need to be in?

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

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t take on work 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We don’t charge extra for travel to Hanwell. The price comes down to:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
