Non-slip bath coating for Balmacara homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Balmacara

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a repair can’t fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Balmacara

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but 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
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why Balmacara clients choose us

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Work done at your home or business

Read our prices page.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work

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

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.
