Non-slip bath coating for Alvecote homes

What we do, step by step

Once we’re 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. 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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

Most clients in Alvecote get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our non-slip bath coating in Alvecote

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Alvecote: your questions answered

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Do you come to Alvecote?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Alvecote from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens next?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Alvecote

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Alvecote?

Instead, you could go for 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Alvecote. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
