What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed quote

You can typically get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A picture taken from further back

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Non-slip bath coating in Oak Corner, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Oak Corner as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that will not last, so these are 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

10 questions to ask before you book

FAQs for Oak Corner

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Do you cover Oak Corner?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Oak Corner. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
