Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Kilby Bridge

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common questions in Kilby Bridge

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, usually with dates to choose from. You are under no obligation.

Can you quote from photos?

Usually, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Kilby Bridge?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your LE18 postcode.

Do you come to Kilby Bridge?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Kilby Bridge and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Kilby Bridge

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

What we do, step by step

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to 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. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Kilby Bridge. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many areas need work

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

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 you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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.

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
