Trusted non-slip bath coating in Maple Cross

Non-slip bath coating in Maple Cross without replacing anything

It suits 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 acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Maple Cross: your questions answered

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Maple Cross.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Maple Cross included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Clear the area around the damage

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Maple Cross customers choose us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Maple Cross, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Maple Cross use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Maple Cross. The price reflects:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Something in shot to show the size

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Maple Cross?

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • If travel is included in the price
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
