Non-slip bath coating in Newtown

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Newtown

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 frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Newtown questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for 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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Advice

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we can’t do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Newtown. The price reflects:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Repairing versus replacing in Newtown

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Common problems we fix in Newtown

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

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
