Non-slip bath coating in Hoby

Non-slip bath coating in Hoby, done in place

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. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Hoby

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Are there extra charges for Hoby?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

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

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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

What we are called out for in Hoby

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Hoby

If you manage property in Hoby, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
