Non-slip bath coating in Stopsley

Non-slip bath coating in Stopsley, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Stopsley

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.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

What your quote should include

  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Stopsley questions

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Stopsley and the rest of Luton. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Related advice

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’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

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

Materials we repair

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Stopsley. What changes the price is:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send pictures for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, 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 often lifts.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Stopsley

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stopsley use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
