Non-slip bath coating for Besses o' th' Barn homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Besses o' th' Barn

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. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Besses o' th' Barn

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Besses o' th' Barn?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People generally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Most customers in Besses o' th' Barn get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Repair or replace in Besses o' th' Barn?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
