Non-slip bath coating for Hornby homes

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hornby

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Hornby

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How to compare quotes

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

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

Advice

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Hornby. The price reflects:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The colour and finish to match

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Hornby. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When a repair is not the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
