Non-slip bath coating near Herne Pound

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Herne Pound

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herne Pound as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What affects the price in Herne Pound

We charge the same across the UK, including Herne Pound. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
