Non-slip bath coating in Holdenhurst

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Holdenhurst

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Holdenhurst

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Holdenhurst

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Holdenhurst. The price comes down to:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material 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.

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
