  • Outdoor surfaces

Non-slip bath coating at your home in St Paul's Walden

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

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

10 questions to ask before you book

What affects the price in St Paul's Walden

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Compared with replacing, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you’re in St Paul's Walden, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

What we do, step by step

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 frequently lifts.
