Non-slip bath coating in Gleadless Valley, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Gleadless Valley

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Repairing versus replacing in Gleadless Valley

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why book with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Our hiring checklist

Gleadless Valley: your questions answered

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Does someone need to be in?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we’ll tell you before starting.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Gleadless Valley, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Get a quote

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. 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.
