Non-slip bath coating for West Handley homes

Common problems we fix in West Handley

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

People generally call us after spotting something like this:

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

Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating at your home in West Handley

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Does someone need to be in?

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

What do you need from me?

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

What we do, step by step

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry

Repairing versus replacing in West Handley

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. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Work done at your home or business

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
