Trusted non-slip bath coating in Hollowell

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

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 usually cheaper.

About our non-slip bath coating in Hollowell

It suits 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. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Northamptonshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Hollowell

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Hollowell

Common questions in Hollowell

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Repair or replace in Hollowell?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath 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 Hollowell. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hollowell

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Northamptonshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Hollowell. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
