How we handle non-slip bath coating in Fenwick

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

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

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before booking

Take a look at our prices page.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material and finish

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A picture taken from further back

To get a price, send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common problems we fix in Fenwick

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

Common reasons people in Fenwick contact us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • How to look after the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Fenwick

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
