How we handle non-slip bath coating in Furnace

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

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.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

When a repair is not the answer

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Furnace

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What you get with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
