Non-slip bath coating for Hepscott homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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.

Non-slip bath coating in Hepscott, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, whatever the material.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Hepscott customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place

What affects the price in Hepscott

There’s no charge for travel to Hepscott. The price depends on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your NE61 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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

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

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hepscott

Do you cover the whole of Northumberland?

All of Northumberland, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.
