About our non-slip bath coating in Knob's Crook

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Ask for a price

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Knob's Crook. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Knob's Crook?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

How to compare quotes

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • The type of damage
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your BH21 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

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.
