Trusted non-slip bath coating in Forton Heath

Non-slip bath coating in Forton Heath, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Forton Heath

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

How the visit works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

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

Common questions in Forton Heath

What information do you need?

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

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Can you quote from photos?

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