Trusted non-slip bath coating in Bobbing

When to call us in Bobbing

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before you book anyone

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • If travel is included in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bobbing

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 typically the cheaper route.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

How to get a fixed quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

If you manage property in Bobbing, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
