Non-slip bath coating in Barrow Hill without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

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

What a repair can’t fix

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair cannot 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Repairing versus replacing in Barrow Hill

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, 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.

Why Barrow Hill customers choose us

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Common problems we fix in Barrow Hill

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet 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:

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