Non-slip bath coating near Carno

The process

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Non-slip bath coating in Carno without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Carno: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Landlord and trade work in Carno

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Carno as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What we are called out for in Carno

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People typically call us when they notice something like this:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How to care for the finish
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Carno. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Carno customers choose us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • No need to remove anything
