Non-slip bath coating in Lancing without replacing anything

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 safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Lancing

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Repairing versus replacing in Lancing

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why Lancing clients choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Lancing questions

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Normally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you cover Lancing?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Lancing from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Our hiring checklist

What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Lancing. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode

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

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.
