How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lansdown

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Lansdown and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Questions from Lansdown

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.

Do you come to Lansdown?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Lansdown and the rest of Gloucestershire. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Are there extra charges for Lansdown?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

When to call us in Lansdown

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Lansdown

We price every job individually, from your photos. What matters most is:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Lansdown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Work for landlords and builders

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

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
