Non-slip bath coating for Link homes

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Non-slip bath coating in Link without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

Common questions in Link

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

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

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Link. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Common problems we fix in Link

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:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Who will actually do the work
