Landlords, agents and businesses in Haughton

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 will fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Haughton as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Non-slip bath coating in Haughton without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Haughton

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Haughton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Haughton

We don’t charge extra for travel to Haughton. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Everything repaired in place
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
