Non-slip bath coating in Hartley

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

About our non-slip bath coating in Hartley

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Hartley

What happens if you find more damage?

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

Will I see the coating?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you come to Hartley?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hartley. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

Landlord and trade work in Hartley

If you manage property in Hartley, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

When to call us in Hartley

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Comparing quotes

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.
