Non-slip bath coating for Holton Heath homes

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How many areas need work

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BH16 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Non-slip bath coating in Holton Heath, done in place

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. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Holton Heath use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Dorset and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Repair or replace in Holton Heath?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Take a look at our full price list.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How to compare quotes

Questions from Holton Heath

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Holton Heath included. Travel is included in the price.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can landlords book you?

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

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
