Non-slip bath coating near Benthall

Non-slip bath coating in Benthall without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Benthall?

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.

Clients generally contact us about:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A photo taken from further back
