Non-slip bath coating in Healeyfield without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Healeyfield as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Healeyfield

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. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What affects the price in Healeyfield

We don’t charge extra for travel to Healeyfield. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.
