Non-slip bath coating for Putteridge homes

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

If you manage property in Putteridge, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Putteridge

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. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Luton. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Get a quote

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Related advice

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Putteridge?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Aftercare advice
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Questions from Putteridge

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What happens next?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Do you cover Putteridge?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Putteridge. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Luton.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
