The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Non-slip bath coating in Pilton, done in place

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 resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Pilton questions

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working that clears as it cures.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

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

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Pilton

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Comparing quotes

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • How long it needs to cure
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

What a repair cannot fix

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Pilton

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

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Pilton. The price reflects:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
