Trusted non-slip bath coating in Horton Kirby

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Horton Kirby

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Horton Kirby and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

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

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horton Kirby

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

FAQs for Horton Kirby

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Horton Kirby included. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Horton Kirby?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
