How we handle non-slip bath coating in Widford

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. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, 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 put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for 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. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Landlords, agents and businesses in Widford

If you manage property in Widford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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.

Questions from Widford

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.

Do you cover the whole of Hertfordshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Widford. Our prices are the same everywhere.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
