Non-slip bath coating at your home in Saxtead Green

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Saxtead Green and across Suffolk. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Saxtead Green

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why book with us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide

Take a look at our full price list.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

When to call us in Saxtead Green

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • Who will actually do the work
  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • What aftercare is recommended

How to compare quotes

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What a repair cannot fix

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How to get a price

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your IP13 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

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.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
