Trusted non-slip bath coating in Cray's Pond

Non-slip bath coating in Cray's Pond without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Our hiring checklist

Cray's Pond: your questions answered

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

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.

What happens next?

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

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Are there extra charges for Cray's Pond?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Repair or replace in Cray's Pond?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Cray's Pond. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

What we can’t put right

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

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back

For a price in Cray's Pond, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Cray's Pond, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll arrange it.
