What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • Doing more than one item at once

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • A photo taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

About our non-slip bath coating in Galmpton

It suits 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 bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, whatever the material.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Galmpton

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders across Torbay.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How soon can you come?

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

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Galmpton. Prices don’t change with location.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Galmpton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

Before you book, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

For anyone letting property in or around Galmpton, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repair or replace in Galmpton?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Galmpton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
