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

About our non-slip bath coating in Flimwell

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why Flimwell customers choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no area surcharge for Flimwell. What changes the price is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Flimwell: your questions answered

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Ask for a price
