Non-slip bath coating in Coate

When to call us in Coate

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

About our non-slip bath coating in Coate

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • How many items we do on one visit

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price the same day in most cases.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We leave the room as we found it

Coate questions

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work, which fades afterwards.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Generally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Coate?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We are happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
