Non-slip bath coating for Norton homes

Non-slip bath coating in Norton without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Norton: your questions answered

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens after I send pictures?

You will get a fixed quote back. You’re under no obligation.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Norton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repairing versus replacing in Norton

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

What affects the price in Norton

We don’t charge extra for travel to Norton. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

If you are in Norton and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How the colour is matched
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
