Trusted non-slip bath coating in Dorcan

Non-slip bath coating in Dorcan without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Dorcan and across Swindon. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Our hiring checklist

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

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 fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Dorcan. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SN3 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Dorcan

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Why Dorcan clients choose us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Dorcan questions

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Dorcan is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.
