Non-slip bath & shower coating in Illey, Dudley

Non-slip bath coating in Illey, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, in acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Illey
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Dudley.
Do you come to Illey?
Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Illey and the rest of Dudley. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Illey?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- What kind of damage it is
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your photos
We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Something in shot to show the size
- Any details about the material
You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Getting a price
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
