Trusted non-slip bath coating in Polton

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

About our non-slip bath coating in Polton

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details.

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

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Polton

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

Prices and what affects them

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in Polton

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Comparing quotes

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage

How to compare quotes

Can I fix it myself?

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Common questions in Polton

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover Polton?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Polton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, we frequently do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Polton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
