Need non-slip bath coating in The Shoe?

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

How we handle non-slip bath coating in The Shoe

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we would advise against a repair

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Questions from The Shoe

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in The Shoe?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you work in The Shoe?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to The Shoe and the rest of Wiltshire. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.

Work for landlords and builders

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

How to get a fixed price

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in The Shoe?

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 photo if you notice any of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
