Book non-slip bath coating in Eastwick

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for 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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

About our non-slip bath coating in Eastwick

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Eastwick

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Eastwick. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Two or three clear pictures are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Landlord and trade work in Eastwick

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Eastwick use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Common problems we fix in Eastwick

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People usually call us when they notice one of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Comparing quotes

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

What we do, step by step

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
