Non-slip bath coating for Barkston homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Barkston

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and 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 booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A fixed quote before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 normally cheaper.
