About our non-slip bath coating in Littlebourne

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. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Littlebourne questions

Do you cover Littlebourne?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Littlebourne from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Littlebourne

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How to compare quotes

What happens on the day

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in Littlebourne

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs 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.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash

For a price in Littlebourne, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
