Non-slip bath coating in Downton without replacing anything

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. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

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

Can I fix it myself?

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

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How much damage there is
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Choosing a repair company

Downton: your questions answered

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Downton

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
