About our non-slip bath coating in Heath End

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away whether it can be repaired.

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

What we’re called out for in Heath End

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

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 Heath End

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

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

Questions from Heath End

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Heath End?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Repair or replace in Heath End?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
