Non-slip bath coating for Northbourne homes

Repair or replace in Northbourne?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a 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’ll give you the exact figure.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Northbourne

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the photos on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your BH10 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

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’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Northbourne as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

FAQs for Northbourne

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What information do you need?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. There is no obligation to book.
