Non-slip bath coating for Harrowcross homes

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

About our non-slip bath coating in Harrowcross

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

When to call us in Harrowcross

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Harrowcross

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover Harrowcross?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Harrowcross from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CO9 postcode.

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Are there extra charges for Harrowcross?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Are you accredited?

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 usually cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.
