Trusted non-slip bath coating in Cross

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Cross

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Cross and across Somerset. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

What affects the price in Cross

There’s no area surcharge for Cross. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

FAQs for Cross

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
