Trusted non-slip bath coating in Newtown

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Non-slip bath coating in Newtown, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we are called out for in Newtown

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no area surcharge for Newtown. What changes the price is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

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.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A photo taken from further back

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a few hours, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Getting a price

To get a price, send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • No need to remove anything
