Non-slip bath coating in Keills

Non-slip bath coating in Keills without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Outdoor surfaces

What we’re called out for in Keills

Smooth surfaces are 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.

People generally call us after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How soon you can use it again
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Keills

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Why Keills clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

For a price in Keills, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
