Non-slip bath coating in Aish without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How to compare quotes

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Aish

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Aish, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Landlord and trade work in Aish

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Devon and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Aish

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Devon.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What do you need from me?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Aish

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One visit for most repairs

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
