Non-slip bath coating in Ingham, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

For landlords and businesses

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Common questions in Ingham

Can you quote from photos?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. 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 homeowners in Ingham.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

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

Do you cover the entire of Suffolk?

We cover the whole UK, including Ingham and the rest of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Are there extra charges for Ingham?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Ingham. The price comes down to:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Ingham. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Ingham

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. 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 pictures.

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 usually cheaper.
