Non-slip bath coating in Swattenden

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Swattenden

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Swattenden

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Work for landlords and builders

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Swattenden as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Related advice

When we would advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Swattenden

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Where you are, by postcode

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Swattenden. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
