Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hognaston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Hognaston questions

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Related advice

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Hognaston

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Quotes from your photos

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DE6 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Hognaston?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Hognaston

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
