What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Rackenford. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can usually get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Rackenford get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Rackenford

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and common reasons people get in touch are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’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

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

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Common questions in Rackenford

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Nearly always. If pictures don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Do the materials smell?

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Rackenford?

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

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

Before booking anyone

  • What preparation is included
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How long it needs to cure

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No extra charge for your area

See our pricing.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you are not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. 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.
