Trusted non-slip bath coating in Howbeck Bank

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Howbeck Bank

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

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

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

When to call us in Howbeck Bank

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Landlord and trade work in Howbeck Bank

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

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.
