Non-slip bath coating in Portfield, 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 it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Portfield. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Portfield, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

Repair or replace in Portfield?

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. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Related advice

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Portfield

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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.
