Non-slip bath coating near Bonchester Bridge

About our non-slip bath coating in Bonchester Bridge

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. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Bonchester Bridge

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

FAQs for Bonchester Bridge

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Do you work in Bonchester Bridge?

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do I need to be at home?

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.
