Trusted non-slip bath coating in Buckland Brewer

Non-slip bath coating in Buckland Brewer, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

What we are called out for in Buckland Brewer

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 generally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. It helps if you send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

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

FAQs for Buckland Brewer

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

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

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
