Trusted non-slip bath coating in Old Felixstowe

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Old Felixstowe

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

How the visit works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away whether it can be repaired.
