Book non-slip bath coating in Horton

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Horton

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Horton

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

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Horton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Horton

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Horton use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy.

  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

What we are called out for in Horton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before you book anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who will actually do the work

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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 booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Horton

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Do you work in Horton?

We do. We send a technician to Horton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

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

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

How soon can you come?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why us?

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
