How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sheldwich

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Related advice

Landlord and trade work in Sheldwich

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Sheldwich

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

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Sheldwich

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
