About our non-slip bath coating in Cathedral Quarter

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Cathedral Quarter

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

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

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

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Landlords, agents and businesses in Cathedral Quarter

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your pictures

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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