Book non-slip bath coating in Hawcoat

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hawcoat

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Hawcoat. The price depends on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hawcoat?

  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What aftercare is recommended

10 questions to ask before booking

Questions from Hawcoat

Do you come to Hawcoat?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hawcoat for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Hawcoat?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Hawcoat

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
