Trusted non-slip bath coating in Lighthazles

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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lighthazles

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. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Lighthazles

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no obligation to book.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Common problems we fix in Lighthazles

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

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 reply with a fixed price.
