About our non-slip bath coating in Bilston

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Bilston. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Landlord and trade work in Bilston

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
