Non-slip bath coating for Allenton homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Allenton

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. 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:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Allenton

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Do you cover Allenton?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Allenton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Is my repair covered?

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Allenton

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

When a repair is not the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Allenton

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

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Allenton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
