Non-slip bath coating in Carlton Forest

Non-slip bath coating in Carlton Forest, 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. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Common questions in Carlton Forest

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Carlton Forest and the rest of Nottinghamshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Carlton Forest, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
