Non-slip bath coating near Oakley

Non-slip bath coating in Oakley, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Oakley use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

Prices and what affects them

We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

FAQs for Oakley

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.

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

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.

Are there extra charges for Oakley?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
