Non-slip bath coating for Hixon homes

Landlord and trade work in Hixon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

About our non-slip bath coating in Hixon

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Hixon?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Take a look at our pricing.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Hixon. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hixon?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Questions from Hixon

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Are there extra charges for Hixon?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
