  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Our hiring checklist

About our non-slip bath coating in Penton Grafton

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is 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.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on

  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths

Penton Grafton: your questions answered

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

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

We give a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item and your postcode.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Clear the area around the damage

Related advice

Work for landlords and builders

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

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Penton Grafton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no charge for travel to Penton Grafton. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your SP11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
