About our non-slip bath coating in Alfold Bars

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in West Sussex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Alfold Bars: your questions answered

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Alfold Bars included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

See our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

When to call us in Alfold Bars

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

The process

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
