Non-slip bath coating for St Albans homes

Non-slip bath coating in St Albans without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in St Albans and across Hertfordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

Once we are through the door, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • One visit for most repairs

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. We can’t 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to St Albans. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage
  • How much damage there is

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray

If you’re in St Albans and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in St Albans

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:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure

Work for landlords and builders

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
