Non-slip bath coating in Belfast without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Common problems we fix in Belfast

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How the colour is matched
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Common questions in Belfast

Do you work in Belfast?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price, generally with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.
