About our non-slip bath coating in Taxal

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • 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 booking.

If you manage property in Taxal, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Common problems we fix in Taxal

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.

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

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

Send pictures for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SK23 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

FAQs for Taxal

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, normally with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Repair or replace in Taxal?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
