Trusted non-slip bath coating in Cross Lanes

About our non-slip bath coating in Cross Lanes

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

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 is not prepared the repair will not last.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

For anyone letting property in or around Cross Lanes, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

What we are called out for in Cross Lanes

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things clients usually mention when they call are:

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

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

FAQs for Cross Lanes

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are there extra charges for Cross Lanes?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do you cover the whole of Dorset?

Everywhere in the UK, Cross Lanes included. Travel is included in the price.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

Do you cover Cross Lanes?

We do. Technicians travel to Cross Lanes from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you will get one combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
