Non-slip bath coating for Southwood homes

Non-slip bath coating in Southwood without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, across enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Southwood

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Hampshire. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Southwood?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

Can I fix it myself?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 frequently lifts.

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

When to call us in Southwood

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.

People typically call us after spotting one of these:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • When it can be used again

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long

10 questions to ask before booking

How it works

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take 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. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Ask for a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

  • 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 photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Repairing versus replacing in Southwood

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.
