About our non-slip bath coating in Abingdon-on-Thames

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Repairing versus replacing in Abingdon-on-Thames

Instead, you could go for 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. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

When to call us in Abingdon-on-Thames

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Common reasons people in Abingdon-on-Thames contact us include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Abingdon-on-Thames. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
