Non-slip bath coating at your home in Buryas Bridge

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

How the visit works

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Ensure the area is dry
