Trusted non-slip bath coating in Heathfield

Non-slip bath coating in Heathfield, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Heathfield

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of East Sussex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will confirm dates.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

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. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Heathfield

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How your room will be protected

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in East Sussex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Heathfield customers choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No need to remove anything

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Heathfield. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.
