Non-slip bath coating in Shilton

Non-slip bath coating in Shilton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shilton

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shilton as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • 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 doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

When a repair is not the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Shilton?

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.

People normally call us when they notice something like this:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • How long it needs to cure
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Our hiring checklist

Repairing versus replacing in Shilton

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Shilton. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • A fixed quote before you book

Read our prices page.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

Questions from Shilton

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your OX18 postcode.

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Ask for a price

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.
