Non-slip bath coating for Barrow homes

Non-slip bath coating in Barrow, done in place

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 regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

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

For anyone letting property in or around Barrow, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Barrow questions

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Will the price change on the day?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Do you cover Barrow?

We do. We send a technician to Barrow for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What we cannot put right

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why book with us

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we’re called out for in Barrow

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Barrow. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Barrow. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Most clients in Barrow get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
