Non-slip bath coating near Pirton

Non-slip bath coating in Pirton without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Safety for older or less mobile people

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Pirton?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our prices page.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage

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

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

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

Landlord and trade work in Pirton

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When we would advise against a repair

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 will say what we think.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
