Non-slip bath coating near Shirburn

Non-slip bath coating in Shirburn without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Shirburn

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What a repair cannot fix

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

  • 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 before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths

Shirburn: your questions answered

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you work in Shirburn?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Shirburn. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted.

Common problems we fix in Shirburn

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • 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

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before booking

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Shirburn. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

There is no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Make sure the area is dry

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.
