Non-slip bath coating for Litlington homes

Non-slip bath coating in Litlington without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why Litlington customers choose us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • What the surface is made of
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Litlington, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Litlington questions

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

How do I book?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Are you accredited?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do you work in Litlington?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Litlington and the rest of East Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
