Non-slip bath coating in Northway

About our non-slip bath coating in Northway

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually put it right, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in Northway

Do you cover Northway?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you cover the whole of Oxfordshire?

We cover the entire UK, including Northway and the rest of Oxfordshire. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Repair or replace in Northway?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
