Non-slip bath coating in Lane Head, done in place

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 a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Lane Head

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

10 questions to ask before you book

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Access to the area

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Lane Head, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Lane Head

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Lane Head?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Are there extra charges for Lane Head?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry
