Non-slip bath coating near Litchurch

About our non-slip bath coating in Litchurch

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Derby. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Litchurch: your questions answered

Are you accredited?

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

Do you cover the whole of Derby?

All of Derby, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Are there extra charges for Litchurch?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote with dates.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Litchurch. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

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

Quotes from your photos

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Repairing versus replacing in Litchurch

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs 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 price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why Litchurch clients choose us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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.

Choosing a repair company

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces
