Non-slip bath coating in Combe St Nicholas

Non-slip bath coating in Combe St Nicholas 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. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Combe St Nicholas as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we can’t put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Combe St Nicholas

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

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Unusual colours or finishes

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Combe St Nicholas, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Combe St Nicholas questions

Are there extra charges for Combe St Nicholas?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

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

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Do you come to Combe St Nicholas?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Combe St Nicholas for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Repair or replace in Combe St Nicholas?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
