Non-slip bath coating near Buxton

Non-slip bath coating in Buxton, 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’re often asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Buxton and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Buxton. The price comes down to:

  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

If you are in Buxton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Landlord and trade work in Buxton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Buxton as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What we are called out for in Buxton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Our hiring checklist

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll 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, a professional repair is worth it.

Repair or replace in Buxton?

Instead, you could go for 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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
