Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Non-slip bath coating in Harford, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Harford and across Devon. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Harford

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common problems we fix in Harford

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before you book

Harford: your questions answered

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Harford?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What affects the price in Harford

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

How to get a price

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Harford, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
