Non-slip bath coating in Aldreth

Non-slip bath coating in Aldreth without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

There is no area surcharge for Aldreth. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

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 price

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Common questions in Aldreth

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

When to call us in Aldreth

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Aldreth contact us are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
