About our non-slip bath coating in Banks

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. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

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 adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

What a repair cannot 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Common questions in Banks

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is there any odour?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Banks included. Travel is included in the price.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sefton and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common problems we fix in Banks

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
