Non-slip bath coating for Coston homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Coston

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Coston and across Norfolk. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair can’t fix

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not 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. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common problems we fix in Coston

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Comparing quotes

  • Who will actually do the work
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.

FAQs for Coston

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Coston?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Coston.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Repairing versus replacing in Coston

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
