Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hopwood

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Hopwood and across Worcestershire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Hopwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Hopwood

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Clients typically contact us about:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • If travel is included in the price

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

FAQs for Hopwood

Do you work in Hopwood?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Hopwood for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Hopwood, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
