Non-slip bath coating for Clifton homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Clifton

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. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

What we’re called out for in Clifton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before booking anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How your room will be protected
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Why repair rather than replace?

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Clifton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK

Common questions in Clifton

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Landlord and trade work in Clifton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
