Trusted non-slip bath coating in Newton Wood

About our non-slip bath coating in Newton Wood

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we’re called out for in Newton Wood

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Get in touch 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

Questions to ask before booking

  • When it can be used again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether the price covers travel

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Can I fix it myself?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

FAQs for Newton Wood

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

What happens after I send pictures?

You’ll get a fixed quote back, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we’re working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your SK14 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How it works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

What a repair can’t fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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