Non-slip bath coating in Hollington

About our non-slip bath coating in Hollington

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Hollington

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

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

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

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

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

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

What we are called out for in Hollington

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before booking

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Most customers in Hollington get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We 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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
