Non-slip bath coating in Hethe

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hethe

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hethe and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Hethe

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Hethe and the rest of Oxfordshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Hethe. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hethe

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs 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, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Same prices wherever you are

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Hethe

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended
