Non-slip bath coating in Bonnington

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bonnington

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 won’t last.

When to call us in Bonnington

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Aftercare advice
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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.

Bonnington questions

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Bonnington?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Repairing versus replacing in Bonnington

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • No extra charge for your area

What a repair cannot fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
