Need non-slip bath coating in Highfield?

Non-slip bath coating in Highfield without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Highfield: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote with dates.

Are there extra charges for Highfield?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What we’re called out for in Highfield

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Highfield?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are

See our full price list.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How much damage there is
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your S2 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
