Non-slip bath coating for Breadsall homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Breadsall

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Derby and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Breadsall

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Will you leave a mess?

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

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

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 that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

For a price in Breadsall, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
