Non-slip bath coating near Cookshill

Non-slip bath coating in Cookshill, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Cookshill as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. 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.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Common problems we fix in Cookshill

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 picture if you notice any of these:

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

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cookshill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Cookshill: your questions answered

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Cookshill is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Do you cover Cookshill?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Cookshill and the rest of Staffordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
