Non-slip bath coating for Hargate homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Hargate

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

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. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

What affects the price in Hargate

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hargate. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hargate

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hargate as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Hargate clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Same prices wherever you are

When to call us in Hargate

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but 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
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Hargate

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Hargate. Prices don’t change with location.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Norfolk.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
