Non-slip bath coating in Garnethill

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Garnethill

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

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

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Garnethill. The price reflects:

  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

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

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

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

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
