Non-Slip Bath Coating for Irstead homes
Local non-slip bath coating for Irstead: photo quotes, tidy work and a year’s guarantee.
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Ensure the area is dry
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Irstead
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Irstead use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

What affects the price in Irstead
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- The type of damage
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- A picture taken from further back
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Details of any past repairs
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
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.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Irstead
Will there be a smell?
There may be a mild smell during the work.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Are there extra charges for Irstead?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
Is my repair covered?
Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

- Whether they match the colour on site
- How soon you can use it again
When we’d advise against a repair
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

- Outdoor surfaces
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What else we do in Irstead
Repair or replace in Irstead?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
