Non-slip bath coating in Honeydon, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Honeydon

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What we cannot put right

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
