Non-slip bath coating near Horfield

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Horfield

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Horfield. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, 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

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths

Landlords, agents and businesses in Horfield

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

For anyone letting property in or around Horfield, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Horfield

Most people get in touch after spotting one of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

10 questions to ask before booking

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What happens on the day

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
