Non-slip bath coating near Harman's Cross

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Harman's Cross

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Harman's Cross

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before you book

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Something in shot to show the size

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Harman's Cross

Are there extra charges for Harman's Cross?

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

Do you work in Harman's Cross?

We do. Technicians travel to Harman's Cross from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Harman's Cross included. Travel is included in the price.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Harman's Cross

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
