Non-slip bath coating for Hipswell homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Hipswell

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

When to call us in Hipswell

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

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How changes to the job are handled

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Advice

Hipswell: your questions answered

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Landlord and trade work in Hipswell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Repair or replace in Hipswell?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
