Non-slip bath coating in Carlecotes, 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. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Carlecotes: your questions answered

Do you cover Carlecotes?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Carlecotes. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Carlecotes?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your S36 postcode.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Can I fix it myself?

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

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

Two or three clear photos are generally enough. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Most customers in Carlecotes get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Landlord and trade work in Carlecotes

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

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

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.
