How we handle non-slip bath coating in Basford
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can normally put it right.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Basford
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- Access to the area
- The size and number of damaged areas
- How hard the colour is to match
- The type of damage
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Natural light rather than flash
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A photo taken from further back
There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Basford
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How quickly can you book me in?
We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
When a repair isn’t the answer
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 will give you a straight answer before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths

Should I try a DIY kit first?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Basford
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottingham and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
What happens on the day
We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know about parking or access
Ask for a price
To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
