Non-slip bath coating for Mountain Hare homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Mountain Hare

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Mountain Hare: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

What do you need from me?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you cover the entire of Merthyr Tydfil?

We work UK-wide, so Mountain Hare is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What affects the price in Mountain Hare

There is no area surcharge for Mountain Hare. The price reflects:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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 before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Mountain Hare

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

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

What your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Mountain Hare?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
