Non-slip bath coating for Budlett's Common homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Budlett's Common

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

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

Budlett's Common questions

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders in Budlett's Common.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Budlett's Common, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Budlett's Common

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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How to care for the finish
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Budlett's Common

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
