Non-slip bath coating for Clate homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Clate

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. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Clate 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

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Clate

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

FAQs for Clate

Are there extra charges for Clate?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, so Clate is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
