Non-slip bath coating near Knatts Valley

Non-slip bath coating in Knatts Valley, done in place

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. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

  • Enamelled baths

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Common problems we fix in Knatts Valley

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

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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