Trusted non-slip bath coating in Shatterling

Non-slip bath coating in Shatterling, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many areas need work

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Any details about the material
  • Natural light rather than flash

Upload pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in Shatterling, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Shatterling

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Shatterling

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do I have to be there?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why book with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Landlord and trade work in Shatterling

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shatterling use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
