Non-slip bath coating near Elsdon

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

About our non-slip bath coating in Elsdon

It’s popular with 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. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated

Repairing versus replacing in Elsdon

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
