Non-slip bath coating in Stroud

Non-slip bath coating in Stroud without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no charge for travel to Stroud. The price comes down to:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

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

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Stroud, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in Stroud

Clients typically contact us about:

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer before booking.

Materials we repair

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Stroud

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Is there a call-out fee?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you cover the entire of Gloucestershire?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Stroud?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stroud for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Landlord and trade work in Stroud

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stroud as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
