How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hawstead

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. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hawstead and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Hawstead

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. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hawstead?

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

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Suffolk and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Hawstead

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Usually, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Prices don’t change with location.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

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 tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
