Non-slip bath coating in Newtown

Non-slip bath coating in Newtown, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Newtown as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Newtown. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Newtown, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When we’d advise against a repair

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Newtown

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, Newtown included. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t 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 generally cheaper.
