Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hartley

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hartley

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is there a guarantee?

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

When to call us in Hartley

Smooth surfaces are 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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How soon you can use it again

10 questions to ask before booking

What affects the price in Hartley

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

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

How to get a fixed price

You can take the photos on your phone. Make sure they show:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs

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

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
