Non-slip bath coating near Throwley Forstal

About our non-slip bath coating in Throwley Forstal

It’s popular with 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 regularly repair acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

Throwley Forstal: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Normally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • A photo taken from further back

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the area is dry

Related advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are 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 does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Repairing versus replacing in Throwley Forstal

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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 book with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • No need to remove anything
  • Same prices wherever you are
