Non-slip bath coating in Sherford without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays, 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.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t right for every job, including:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Sherford

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Getting a price from pictures

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Sherford

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who will actually do the work
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

How to compare quotes

Repair or replace in Sherford?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Sherford. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

For landlords and businesses

For anyone letting property in or around Sherford, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

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.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
