Trusted non-slip bath coating in Lugwardine

Non-slip bath coating in Lugwardine, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed price

Phone pictures are fine. Just make sure we can see:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

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 reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lugwardine use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

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

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One price list for the entire UK

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
