Non-slip bath coating near Eye

Non-slip bath coating in Eye without replacing anything

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. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What we cannot put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Eye

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Eye?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and 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 nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
