Non-slip bath coating for Porter's End homes

What we are called out for in Porter's End

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers typically mention when they call are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

About our non-slip bath coating in Porter's End

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Porter's End as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Porter's End

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Porter's End, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repair or replace in Porter's End?

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Porter's End questions

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Hertfordshire.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Porter's End?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

When can you do it?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
