Non-slip bath coating near Overton

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Overton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One price list for the whole UK

See our full price list.

What we can’t put right

We will 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.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Overton. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material

Most customers in Overton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Overton?

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.

Look out for any of the following:

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

Our hiring checklist

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Overton as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

Can I fix it myself?

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Overton

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

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

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

Do you come to Overton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Overton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
