Trusted non-slip bath coating in Stapleton

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stapleton

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Common problems we fix in Stapleton

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

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

Before you book anyone

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long it needs to cure

Our hiring checklist

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What you get with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Common questions in Stapleton

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Can you quote from photos?

Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do the materials smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Do you charge for travel?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

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

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stapleton. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Stapleton, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
