Non-slip bath coating for Furnace homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Furnace

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

What we can’t put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Furnace: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is it messy?

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

How do I clean it?

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

What areas do you cover?

All of Carmarthenshire, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Furnace?

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.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How your room will be protected

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Furnace, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

How the visit works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. 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. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
