Non-slip bath coating for Horndean homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

About our non-slip bath coating in Horndean

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Horndean

  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

How the visit works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Advice

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

When to call us in Horndean

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
