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

Non-slip bath coating in Hollingbury without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hollingbury. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Email us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your BN1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Hollingbury: your questions answered

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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.

Common problems we fix in Hollingbury

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.

Look out for any of the following:

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

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage

How to get a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
