Non-slip bath coating for Hill Street homes

Common questions in Hill Street

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Do you cover the entire of Dorset?

We cover the whole UK, including Hill Street and the rest of Dorset. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Do I need to be at home?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hill Street

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hill Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

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.

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

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Hill Street. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What a repair can’t fix

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Hill Street

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking
