How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Fen Ditton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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 without visiting.

Non-slip bath coating in Fen Ditton, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are 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 a repair can’t fix

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

FAQs for Fen Ditton

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CB5 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fen Ditton

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Fen Ditton

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Aftercare advice
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long it needs to cure

10 questions to ask before booking

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Why us?

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
