About our non-slip bath coating in Hitcham

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Common questions in Hitcham

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Hitcham.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Hitcham and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in Hitcham?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Why Hitcham customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Hitcham

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

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 use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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