Trusted non-slip bath coating in Oldcotes

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  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. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Oldcotes

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Nottinghamshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Oldcotes

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

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 you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

We price from photos so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Nottinghamshire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Questions from Oldcotes

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you work in Oldcotes?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Oldcotes. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you will get one combined price.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Nottinghamshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, usually with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Generally one visit, start to finish
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

What a repair can’t fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Oldcotes

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People typically call us when they notice one of these:

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

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How soon you can use it again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
