Non-slip bath coating for Lockwood homes

Non-slip bath coating in Lockwood, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Common problems we fix in Lockwood

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Lockwood

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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 normally cheaper.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Open a window if you can
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

What affects the price in Lockwood

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
