Non-slip bath coating in Holwell

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Holwell

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Holwell

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair can’t fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Holwell

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

When to call us in Holwell

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.

Common reasons people in Holwell contact us include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
