Non-slip bath coating at your home in Matlock Bath

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

10 questions to ask before you book

Repairing versus replacing in Matlock Bath

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Matlock Bath clients choose us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

See our prices page.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. 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 often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

Matlock Bath: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will I see the coating?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

What affects the price in Matlock Bath

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DE4 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
