Non-slip bath coating in Cotonwood

Non-slip bath coating in Cotonwood, done in place

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. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months in Cotonwood and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SY13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Cotonwood

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Are you accredited?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Repair or replace in Cotonwood?

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. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Cotonwood. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
