Non-slip bath coating in Moretonhampstead, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Moretonhampstead

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace in Moretonhampstead?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Take a look at our full price list.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most clients in Moretonhampstead get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Honest limits

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Moretonhampstead: your questions answered

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

The process

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.
