Non-slip bath coating in Fordhouses, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your WV10 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we work on in Fordhouses

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

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Fordhouses use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: 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.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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.

Fordhouses questions

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Do you come to Fordhouses?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Fordhouses and the rest of Wolverhampton. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Fordhouses.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, including clearing up.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What we are called out for in Fordhouses

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Send us a photo if you notice any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before you book anyone

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
