Non-slip bath coating in Buckland Common

What a repair cannot fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating in Buckland Common without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The size and number of damaged areas

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Repair or replace in Buckland Common?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Same prices wherever you are

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
