Non-slip bath coating in Allercombe, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Allercombe. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

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, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

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

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Allercombe use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Allercombe

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How do I clean it?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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

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

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

When to call us in Allercombe

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Allercombe

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
