Book non-slip bath coating in Abington

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Non-slip bath coating in Abington without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.

You’re 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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Abington

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

What do you need from me?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Repair or replace in Abington?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why Abington clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Work done at your home or business

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
