Need non-slip bath coating in Hopkinstown?

Non-slip bath coating in Hopkinstown without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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 parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hopkinstown use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Repairing versus replacing in Hopkinstown

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. 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.

Common problems we fix in Hopkinstown

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

Look out for these signs:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
