Non-slip bath coating for Ashton homes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ashton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Ashton

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is there a guarantee?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Hampshire, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How soon can you come?

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

Landlord and trade work in Ashton

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Ashton. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

When to call us in Ashton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How the colour is matched
  • How your room will be protected
  • Aftercare advice

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 work on in Ashton

The process

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

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
