Non-Slip Bath Coating in Castle Quarter

What affects the price in Castle Quarter
A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:
- Access to the area
- Doing more than one item at once
- The material and finish
- Unusual colours or finishes
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 quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A photo taken from further back
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Non-slip bath coating in Castle Quarter without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Castle Quarter
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
What else we do in Castle Quarter
When to call us in Castle Quarter
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
People usually call us after spotting something like this:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- How the colour is matched
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
- What happens if they find more damage
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
How it works
You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice
Repair or replace in Castle Quarter?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.
