Non-slip bath coating for Stowting homes

Non-slip bath coating in Stowting without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Getting a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your TN25 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

What we cannot put right

A repair is not always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Questions from Stowting

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

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

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Common problems we fix in Stowting

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

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

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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 make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
