Need non-slip bath coating in Harefield?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Harefield

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Harefield and across Southampton. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What affects the price in Harefield

We charge the same across the UK, including Harefield. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Harefield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • The material, if you know it
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Harefield?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
