Non-slip bath coating at your home in Langton Matravers

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits 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 safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Shower trays

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

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

Our hiring checklist

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Open a window if you can
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

DIY kit or professional repair?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Work done at your home or business

Questions from Langton Matravers

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

When can you do it?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Langton Matravers?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
