Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Portfield
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
When can you do it?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Non-slip bath coating in Portfield without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Portfield
Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different 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
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice
Repair or replace in Portfield?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Portfield?
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Customers normally contact us about:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before booking
- How long it needs to cure

- Whether the price covers travel
- How your room will be protected
