Non-slip bath coating near St George

Non-slip bath coating in St George, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays, and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

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

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a few hours, 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 put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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

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

Materials we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Send pictures for a quote

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

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A photo taken from further back
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Repair or replace in St George?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • No extra charge for your area
