Trusted non-slip bath coating in Alvescot

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Alvescot

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

How to get a price

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

When to call us in Alvescot

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • 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 you book anyone

  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
