Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Pensilva

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

About our non-slip bath coating in Pensilva

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Pensilva. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The material, if you know it

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why Pensilva customers choose us

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Read our prices page.

What we cannot put right

We’d rather lose a job than do one 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.

What we work on

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

How it works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

Landlord and trade work in Pensilva

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Common questions in Pensilva

Can you price it without visiting?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, so Pensilva is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

What do you need from me?

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

How do I clean it?

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

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
