Trusted non-slip bath coating in Healey

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Healey

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Healey

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Healey as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Questions from Healey

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

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

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Are there extra charges for Healey?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Healey

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Clients normally contact us about:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • 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 the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Healey?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our prices page.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
