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. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Newtown use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

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.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon. We leave the room clean.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Newtown

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How much damage there is

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Newtown

Will it make a mess?

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

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Newtown?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Do you come to Newtown?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Newtown for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

What you get with us

  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Normally one visit, start to finish

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
