Non-slip bath coating in Harby

Non-slip bath coating in Harby, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Harby: your questions answered

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do you cover Harby?

We do. We send a technician to Harby for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

What information do you need?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Harby

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Clients generally contact us about:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Harby. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Access to the area
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NG23 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
