Non-slip bath coating near Hawthorn

Non-slip bath coating in Hawthorn without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, 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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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 pictures and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we work on in Hawthorn

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Hawthorn: your questions answered

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Hawthorn included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Hawthorn. The price reflects:

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hawthorn use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
