Non-slip bath coating for Camb homes

Non-slip bath coating in Camb, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Camb

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What prep work is covered
  • Aftercare advice
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Getting a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Camb, and we will reply with a fixed price.

FAQs for Camb

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Are there extra charges for Camb?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Repair or replace in Camb?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Camb clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What a repair cannot fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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