About our non-slip bath coating in Ickwell

It’s popular with 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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Central Bedfordshire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Read our pricing.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ickwell

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Ickwell?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you come to Ickwell?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Ickwell. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

What we can’t put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ickwell

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What preparation is included
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Ickwell

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Send pictures for a quote

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Most customers in Ickwell get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.
