Non-slip bath coating in Highnam

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Highnam

It’s popular with 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. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

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

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.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Repairing versus replacing in Highnam

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Highnam

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

Our hiring checklist

Highnam: your questions answered

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is it messy?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Highnam.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
