How we handle non-slip bath coating in Martin

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Work done at your home or business

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in Martin

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Martin. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Send pictures for a quote

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

For a price in Martin, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Martin

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Martin as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

FAQs for Martin

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

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

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

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

Can you price it without visiting?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.
