How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hengrove

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

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.

Repair or replace in Hengrove?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Hengrove questions

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I have to be there?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hengrove?

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

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • When it can be used again
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
