About our non-slip bath coating in Brooksbottoms

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Brooksbottoms questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will I see the coating?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Brooksbottoms?

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. 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 price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Common problems we fix in Brooksbottoms

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

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

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Brooksbottoms. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.
