Non-slip bath coating in Pleck, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Pleck as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Honest limits

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we repair

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

The process

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

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

Pleck: your questions answered

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How soon can you come?

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Access to the area

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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 photos

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. 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.

What we’re called out for in Pleck

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.

Clients normally contact us about:

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

Repair or replace in Pleck?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Pleck. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
