Non-slip bath coating near Priory Heath

What we do, step by step

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Non-slip bath coating in Priory Heath, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Priory Heath as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Priory Heath?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for these signs:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material
  • How many items we do on one visit

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Priory Heath

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Free fixed quotes from pictures
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs

When we would advise against a repair

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Will you leave a mess?

Are you a vetted contractor?
