Non-slip bath coating in Horney Common

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

About our non-slip bath coating in Horney Common

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are 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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the entire UK

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Horney Common

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Horney Common

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

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces
