Non-slip bath coating in Nash Mills, done in place

It suits 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 safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Nash Mills as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

Your technician turns up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details.

Nash Mills questions

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can pets and children be at home?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

What happens after I send photos?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Nash Mills. The price reflects:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed price

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Nash Mills, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When we would advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is usually cheaper.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
