Non-slip bath coating for Ashbury homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Ashbury

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. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

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

What we work on

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

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Ashbury

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

Look out for these signs:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Common questions in Ashbury

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Swindon.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Ashbury. Prices do not change with location.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Ashbury

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
