Non-slip bath coating near Pickhurst

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

Non-slip bath coating in Pickhurst without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Pickhurst

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pickhurst use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

What you get with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

See our pricing.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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 pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • What the surface is made of

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

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