Non-slip bath coating in Lewes without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.

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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Lewes

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why book with us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Fixed prices from your photos

Take a look at our full price list.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Quotes from your pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

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 frequently lifts.

Common questions in Lewes

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It clears as the materials cure.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

Landlord and trade work in Lewes

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

When to call us in Lewes

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before booking

The process

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
