Non-slip bath coating near Throwley

Non-slip bath coating in Throwley, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Throwley

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How to compare quotes

How we price non-slip bath coating

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Throwley, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, and get on with the job, which typically takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your pictures, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Repair or replace: which is better?

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 treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs 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 pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
