About our non-slip bath coating in Harlaston

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

If you are in Harlaston and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Harlaston questions

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Harlaston?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will it make a mess?

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

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

The process

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
