Non-slip bath coating in Little Kimble, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Little Kimble and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

How it works

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Buckinghamshire and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.

Repair or replace in Little Kimble?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, 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. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Little Kimble customers choose us

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • We leave the room as we found it

Little Kimble questions

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Little Kimble?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Buckinghamshire.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
