About our non-slip bath coating in Brayford

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

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 reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in Brayford?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What affects the price in Brayford

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

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

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Brayford. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode

FAQs for Brayford

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Brayford included. There is no extra charge for travel.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Landlord and trade work in Brayford

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.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Brayford use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Common problems we fix in Brayford

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.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
