Non-slip bath coating for Haselbury Plucknett homes

Non-slip bath coating in Haselbury Plucknett, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

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

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

How it works

We agree an arrival time beforehand. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Most clients in Haselbury Plucknett get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Haselbury Plucknett clients choose us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • Nothing taken out or refitted

See our prices page.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

When to call us in Haselbury Plucknett

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.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

What your quote should include

  • Who turns up on the day
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • How to care for the finish
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
