Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cheltenham

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

  • Outdoor surfaces

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

Repairing versus replacing in Cheltenham

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Cheltenham customers choose us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our pricing.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.
