Non-slip bath coating for Latchingdon homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Latchingdon

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. 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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Latchingdon: your questions answered

Do you charge for travel?

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

What areas do you cover?

Everywhere in the UK, Latchingdon included. Travel is included in the price.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the pictures didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Latchingdon?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your CM3 postcode.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

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

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Latchingdon. The price depends on:

  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.
