Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Glapwell

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Glapwell

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you come to Glapwell?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Glapwell and the rest of Derbyshire. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can pets and children be at home?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, 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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Natural light rather than flash

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Glapwell as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Glapwell. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why Glapwell customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it
