Non-slip bath coating in Irlams o' th' Height, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Irlams o' th' Height: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What do you need from me?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Common problems we fix in Irlams o' th' Height

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before you book

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Irlams o' th' Height, and we will reply with a fixed price.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
