Non-slip bath coating for Howe Street homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Howe Street

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t 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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Questions from Howe Street

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

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

Are there extra charges for Howe Street?

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Essex.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

We will always be straight with you, 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets 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.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and 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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
