Need non-slip bath coating in Woodhatch?

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Woodhatch

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Woodhatch as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Woodhatch

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things customers usually mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

What affects the price in Woodhatch

There is no charge for travel to Woodhatch. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

If you are in Woodhatch and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
