Non-slip bath coating in Hextable

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Non-slip bath coating in Hextable, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Hextable

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

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hextable

Will you leave a mess?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you cover Hextable?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hextable. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Landlord and trade work in Hextable

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Hextable, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
