Non-slip bath coating near Norton Mandeville

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

About our non-slip bath coating in Norton Mandeville

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Norton Mandeville?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people contact us after spotting one of these:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • If travel is included in the price
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice

10 questions to ask before you book

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We don’t add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

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

When a repair is not the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
