Non-slip bath coating near Shut Heath

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Shut Heath

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

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: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What happens on the day

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found 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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair isn’t the answer

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Shut Heath: your questions answered

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Shut Heath?

We do. Technicians travel to Shut Heath from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Is there any odour?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What happens next?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Repair or replace: which is better?

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