Trusted non-slip bath coating in Bulwell

Non-slip bath coating in Bulwell, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Bulwell: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

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

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens after I send pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What affects the price in Bulwell

We charge the same across the UK, including Bulwell. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Bulwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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 we’re called out for in Bulwell

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What aftercare is recommended

Our hiring checklist

When a repair is not the answer

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

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

What we work on

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
