Non-slip bath coating in Arlesey without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Most jobs around Arlesey are in family homes and bungalows. A chip, rust spot or worn surface is repaired in a single visit, with the bath back in use soon after.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Arlesey and across Central Bedfordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Arlesey

I let a flat near Arlesey station. Can you help between tenants?

Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price.

Can you restore the original baths and shower trays in an older house in Arlesey?

Normally: original pieces are frequently better made and harder to replace. We’ll give you an honest view from pictures.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you come to Arlesey?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Arlesey and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

How the visit works

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy. For a home in Arlesey, we normally park close by and start straight away.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Landlord and trade work in Arlesey

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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 treats your existing bath or tray. For a home around Arlesey where the bath or shower tray is sound, replacing it is rarely worth the cost and disruption.

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

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

  • Acrylic baths
  • Shower trays

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Arlesey?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Landlords with property near Arlesey station (about 0.8 miles north) use us between tenancies, so baths and shower trays are repaired rather than replaced.
