How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lye

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

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

Repairing versus replacing in Lye

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 adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Common problems we fix in Lye

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Our hiring checklist

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Lye questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is my repair covered?

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

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Lye?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Lye. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

For landlords and businesses

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
