About our non-slip bath coating in Kirby Row

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and enamelled baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Kirby Row

When can you do it?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

The entire UK, including all of Suffolk. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can tenants book a repair?

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Kirby Row?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

The process

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t 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 we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book.

Why Kirby Row customers choose us

  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
