Non-slip bath coating in Barbrook

Non-slip bath coating in Barbrook without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Barbrook questions

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How soon can you come?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do you cover the whole of Devon?

Across the UK, so Barbrook is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repair or replace in Barbrook?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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