Non-slip bath coating in Stratton

Non-slip bath coating in Stratton without replacing anything

It’s popular with 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, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Do you cover Stratton?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Stratton. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Stratton.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’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

Not sure? Send photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we work on in Stratton

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Stratton

Smooth surfaces are 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.

People normally call us after spotting one of these:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • What preparation is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Stratton. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stratton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Landlord and trade work in Stratton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What happens on the day

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Let us in and show us the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DT2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
