Non-slip bath coating at your home in North Prospect

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Common problems we fix in North Prospect

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed price

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To make it quick:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why us?

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

What we cannot put right

Before booking, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think before booking.

Materials we repair

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

North Prospect questions

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Do you work in North Prospect?

We do. Technicians travel to North Prospect from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can you repair several things at once?

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

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send pictures.
