Non-slip bath coating for Howdon homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Howdon

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Howdon?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Howdon. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Howdon?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
