Trusted non-slip bath coating in Stanbridge

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stanbridge

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

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

Can I fix it myself?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Stanbridge?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Choosing a repair company

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Set against the cost of replacement, 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

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When we would advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 you book.

Materials we work on in Stanbridge

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

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Most jobs done in one visit
