Non-slip bath coating in Hestingott

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down 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. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How to get a price

Most customers in Hestingott get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hestingott

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in the Shetland Islands and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Hestingott, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hestingott

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Hestingott clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our pricing.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Hestingott

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

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • When it can be used again
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
