What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DN17 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Althorpe

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Questions from Althorpe

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Althorpe?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How to care for the finish
  • Who turns up on the day

10 questions to ask before you book

Repair or replace in Althorpe?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Read our full price list.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

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

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.
