Non-slip bath coating for Hildersham homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

About our non-slip bath coating in Hildersham

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Hildersham 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.

How to compare quotes

Hildersham: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

When can you do it?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No need to remove anything
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our full price list.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hildersham

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.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Hildersham. What changes the price is:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back

For a price in Hildersham, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
