About our non-slip bath coating in Caldecott

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Caldecott

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

What we are called out for in Caldecott

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to care for the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

How to compare quotes

Common questions in Caldecott

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you cover Caldecott?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to Caldecott from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone pictures are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Repair or replace in Caldecott?

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking

Landlord and trade work in Caldecott

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon for most jobs. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
