Trusted non-slip bath coating in Prospect

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Prospect. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • We leave the room as we found it

  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Non-slip bath coating in Prospect, done in place

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. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We don’t charge extra for travel to Prospect. The price comes down to:

  • How much damage there is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

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

FAQs for Prospect

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Are there extra charges for Prospect?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

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

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How it works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Related advice

When to call us in Prospect

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

What we can’t put right

We will always be straight with you, 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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

Landlord and trade work in Prospect

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.
