Book non-slip bath coating in Harcombe

What affects the price in Harcombe

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your EX10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating in Harcombe without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How to compare quotes

Harcombe questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Repairing versus replacing in Harcombe

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Harcombe. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.
