Non-slip bath coating in Ann Croft

Non-slip bath coating in Ann Croft without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Ann Croft and across Derbyshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Ann Croft use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What we are called out for in Ann Croft

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Ann Croft. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Two or three clear pictures are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A picture taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 repair

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