Non-slip bath coating in Hastings Hill

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, 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 clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hastings Hill

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Sunderland. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Hastings Hill: your questions answered

Do you cover Hastings Hill?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Hastings Hill from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Are there extra charges for Hastings Hill?

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

All of Sunderland, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

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 the same day in most cases.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Hastings Hill

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
