Non-slip bath coating in Hickleton

Non-slip bath coating in Hickleton, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Hickleton

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

Repair or replace in Hickleton?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
