Need non-slip bath coating in Durlston?

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Durlston

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Durlston. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos 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 the same day in most cases.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Our hiring checklist

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • No extra charge for your area

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
