Need non-slip bath coating in Middridge?

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating in Middridge without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Middridge use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we do, step by step

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Common problems we fix in Middridge

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back

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