What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Barrow Island. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

  • Natural light rather than flash

Non-slip bath coating in Barrow Island without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Our hiring checklist

Common questions in Barrow Island

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What information do you need?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Cumbria, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What we do, step by step

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Repair or replace in Barrow Island?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why Barrow Island clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

When a repair is not the answer

A repair is not 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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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