Non-slip bath coating near Steps

Non-slip bath coating in Steps without replacing anything

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. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Steps questions

What happens next?

We come back with a fixed quote. You are under no obligation.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your HD9 postcode.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do you come to Steps?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Steps. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

When to call us in Steps

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • What prep work is covered
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What protection goes down before work starts

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in Steps

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 treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Steps. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • Everything repaired in place
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Landlord and trade work in Steps

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Steps use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Steps, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.
