Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, 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, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Hylton Red House

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

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Hylton Red House. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Questions from Hylton Red House

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Are there extra charges for Hylton Red House?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

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.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Advice

Should you replace it?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.
