What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

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. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating in Digswell without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we can’t put right

Some jobs are not 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

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Digswell?

Smooth surfaces are 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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Choosing a repair company

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

Common questions in Digswell

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you cover Digswell?

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
