Non-slip bath coating near The Down

Non-slip bath coating at your home in The Down

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. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

People normally call us when they notice one of these:

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

Choosing a repair company

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.

When we’d advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for The Down. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The Down: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is a repair better than a new one?

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

Do you charge for travel?

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

What areas do you cover?

The entire UK, including all of Shropshire. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

How it works

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to The Down. The price comes down to:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Access to the area
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

You can normally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
