Trusted non-slip bath coating in Belle Vue

Non-slip bath coating in Belle Vue 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 older people, families and holiday lets. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for 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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, 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

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

Materials we work on in Belle Vue

Landlords, agents and businesses in Belle Vue

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Belle Vue use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we’re called out for in Belle Vue

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions from Belle Vue

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

Do you cover Belle Vue?

We do. We send a technician to Belle Vue for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

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.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
