Non-slip bath coating in Wester Hailes without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

Common questions in Wester Hailes

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Wester Hailes?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your EH14 postcode.

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.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Wester Hailes?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Wester Hailes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it messy?

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

Are there extra charges for Wester Hailes?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Take a look at our full price list.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Wester Hailes. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we are called out for in Wester Hailes

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
