About our non-slip bath coating in Ford

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

How to compare quotes

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Ford

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Honest limits

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Questions from Ford

Repairing versus replacing in Ford

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip 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.
