Non-slip bath coating near Fifehead Neville

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Fifehead Neville

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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Fifehead Neville and across Dorset. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Fifehead Neville?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Our hiring checklist

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Fifehead Neville. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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

How to get a fixed price

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The material, if you know it

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
