How we handle non-slip bath coating in New Town

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Ensure the area is dry

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in New Town

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do

New Town questions

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Luton. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

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

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in New Town.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in New Town?

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in New Town, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we repair

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