Non-slip bath coating in Westmill

Non-slip bath coating in Westmill without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Westmill

For anyone letting property in or around Westmill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Westmill

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Can landlords book you?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Do you cover Westmill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Westmill and the rest of Hertfordshire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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.

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

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why Westmill customers choose us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Westmill, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
