Non-slip bath coating in Astley

Repairing versus replacing in Astley

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Astley

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

Non-slip bath coating in Astley without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Astley

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The material
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

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

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Can I fix it myself?

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 usually cheaper.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
