About our non-slip bath coating in Langley Bottom

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Getting a price

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Related advice

Should you replace it?

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. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common questions in Langley Bottom

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

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

Do you come to Langley Bottom?

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

What happens after I send photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Are there extra charges for Langley Bottom?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Langley Bottom. Prices do not change with location.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Langley Bottom?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How to look after the finish

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
