Non-slip bath coating in Redbourn, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Redbourn as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

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 is not prepared the repair won’t last.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Redbourn questions

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

What happens after I send photos?

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

Are there extra charges for Redbourn?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Common problems we fix in Redbourn

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers typically contact us about:

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