Non-slip bath coating for Cogenhoe homes

Non-slip bath coating in Cogenhoe without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.

You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Cogenhoe

When can you do it?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

For a price in Cogenhoe, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Open a window if you can

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

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

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

Common problems we fix in Cogenhoe

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
