Non-slip bath coating for Baker's Cross homes

Non-slip bath coating in Baker's Cross without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Baker's Cross

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Baker's Cross. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Baker's Cross

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
