Non-slip bath coating in Huncote

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

About our non-slip bath coating in Huncote

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. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

What we do, step by step

Once we’re through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

What we’re called out for in Huncote

Smooth surfaces are 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 things clients generally mention when they call include:

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

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Huncote, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Huncote: your questions answered

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

Do you come to Huncote?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Huncote from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Huncote?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You’re under no obligation.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Huncote

For anyone letting property in or around Huncote, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before you book.
