Non-slip bath coating for Barrow Gurney homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Barrow Gurney

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Read our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Barrow Gurney

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Barrow Gurney

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions from Barrow Gurney

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Barrow Gurney?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Barrow Gurney. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, so Barrow Gurney is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry

Ask for a price

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Barrow Gurney, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
