Non-slip bath coating in Clockmill

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Clockmill

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not 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.

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we are called out for in Clockmill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Clockmill. The price reflects:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
