Non-slip bath coating in Shirehampton without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Every job is backed for twelve months in Shirehampton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Shirehampton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

When to call us in Shirehampton

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.

Clients normally contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What prep work is covered

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

What a repair can’t fix

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we work on in Shirehampton

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can

Advice

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally 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.

How to get a fixed quote

You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in Shirehampton

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Shirehampton customers choose us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Shirehampton

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Do I need to be at home?

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

Do you cover Shirehampton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Shirehampton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
