Non-slip bath coating in Houghton Regis

About our non-slip bath coating in Houghton Regis

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • We leave the room as we found it

FAQs for Houghton Regis

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Do you work in Houghton Regis?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Houghton Regis and the rest of Central Bedfordshire. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Do you cover the entire of Central Bedfordshire?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Houghton Regis. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Houghton Regis

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Before booking anyone

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How soon you can use it again

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
