Non-slip bath coating for Horseman Side homes

Non-slip bath coating in Horseman Side without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we would advise against a repair

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.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. 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.

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 frequently lifts.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Horseman Side. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Choosing a repair company

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.
