Non-slip bath coating in Northmoor without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Northmoor?

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

The things clients usually mention when they call include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

Questions from Northmoor

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you come to Northmoor?

We do. Technicians travel to Northmoor from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

What affects the price in Northmoor

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, 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.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Should you replace it?

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. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.
