Non-slip bath coating in Melling

About our non-slip bath coating in Melling

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Melling and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Melling questions

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

What areas do you cover?

Across the UK, and that includes Melling. Prices don’t change with location.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

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.

Common problems we fix in Melling

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • How the colour is matched
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Melling

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 adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add 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.

Why book with us

  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • A fixed quote before booking
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our pricing.

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.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

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

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking.

Send photos for a quote

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
