Non-slip bath coating for British homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in British

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. 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 resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Torfaen. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

British questions

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, British included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

When to call us in British

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People usually call us after spotting something like this:

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

Comparing quotes

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit generally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to British. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.
