Non-slip bath coating at your home in The Wrythe

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before you book. We look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for The Wrythe. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
