Non-slip bath coating in Craven Arms without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Craven Arms

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

Repairing versus replacing in Craven Arms

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Take a look at our full price list.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

If you are in Craven Arms and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Craven Arms questions

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Will the price change on the day?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Landlord and trade work in Craven Arms

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.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When to call us in Craven Arms

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Choosing a repair company

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Get a quote

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
