Non-slip bath coating in Thorpe Hesley, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Natural light rather than flash

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Thorpe Hesley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for 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 price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Advice

Common questions in Thorpe Hesley

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Thorpe Hesley.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely 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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Thorpe Hesley?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What prep work is covered
  • How long it needs to cure
