Non-slip bath coating in Little Hay

Non-slip bath coating in Little Hay without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Little Hay

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Ensure the area is dry

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Little Hay

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Little Hay

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

How do I book?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
