Non-slip bath coating for Havercroft homes

Non-slip bath coating in Havercroft without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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

Havercroft questions

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will I see the coating?

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

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your WF4 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What affects the price in Havercroft

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When to call us in Havercroft

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Havercroft, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will price them together.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

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

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

Materials we repair

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