How we handle non-slip bath coating in Horham

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horham

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

For anyone letting property in or around Horham, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

When we would advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your IP21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Horham

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Suffolk.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Horham?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your IP21 postcode.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What we are called out for in Horham

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

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Aftercare advice

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
