Non-slip bath coating in Horning

Non-slip bath coating in Horning without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Questions from Horning

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

The entire UK, including all of Norfolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

Will I see the coating?

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

Are there extra charges for Horning?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horning

If you manage property in Horning, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What happens on the day

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we work on in Horning

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repair or replace in Horning?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
