Non-slip bath coating in Heanor

Non-slip bath coating in Heanor, done in place

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Heanor use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Heanor: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Do you come to Heanor?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Heanor and the rest of Derbyshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Repairing versus replacing in Heanor

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Common problems we fix in Heanor

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for these signs:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 frequently lifts.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
