Non-slip bath coating for Marshwood homes

Non-slip bath coating in Marshwood, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas 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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

When to call us in Marshwood

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

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

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

If you manage property in Marshwood, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Questions from Marshwood

Do I have to be there?

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

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How soon can you come?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What we do, step by step

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

What affects the price in Marshwood

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Most customers in Marshwood get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
