Book non-slip bath coating in New Coundon

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Non-slip bath coating at your home in New Coundon

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every job is backed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Quotes from your photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

New Coundon questions

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working, which fades afterwards.

What happens after I send photos?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in New Coundon?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

Will I see the coating?

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

How the visit works

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

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
