Non-slip bath coating in Bedwell

Non-slip bath coating in Bedwell, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bedwell and across Hertfordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Bedwell?

Smooth surfaces are 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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Before booking anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled

Questions from Bedwell

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What affects the price in Bedwell

We don’t charge extra for travel to Bedwell. The price comes down to:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

Landlord and trade work in Bedwell

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Should you replace it?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Why Bedwell clients choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Get a quote

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
