Non-Slip Bath Coating in Rutland

How non-slip bath coating works in Rutland

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

What you will pay

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When we would advise against a repair

We won’t 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

What we’re called out for in Rutland

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray.

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site
