Non-slip bath coating near Micklethwaite

About our non-slip bath coating in Micklethwaite

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Micklethwaite?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

Choosing a repair company

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Micklethwaite

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Work done at your home or business

Micklethwaite questions

How quickly can you book me in?

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

We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Are you accredited?

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

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Micklethwaite. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from photos

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you’re in Micklethwaite and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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