How we handle non-slip bath coating in Little Horkesley

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Little Horkesley

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace in Little Horkesley?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Little Horkesley. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
