Need non-slip bath coating in Howden?

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Howden. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Howden

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Howden

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Howden, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

Most clients in Howden get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, 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 will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Everything repaired in place

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

How to compare quotes

Howden: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
