Non-slip bath coating near Charlesville

About our non-slip bath coating in Charlesville

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, with your NP4 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Repair or replace in Charlesville?

Instead, you could go for 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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our pricing.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Charlesville

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
