Trusted non-slip bath coating in Laxton

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Laxton

The coating is clear and textured, 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. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

10 questions to ask before booking

Common questions in Laxton

Are there extra charges for Laxton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

What happens next?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

The process

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Laxton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

Most customers in Laxton get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Honest limits

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.
