Trusted non-slip bath coating in Hoe Gate

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hoe Gate

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Hoe Gate. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Hoe Gate. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

How the visit works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Hoe Gate questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I clean it?

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

Do you cover the whole of Hampshire?

Everywhere in the UK, Hoe Gate included. Travel is included in the price.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
