Non-slip bath coating in Trowbridge, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Our hiring checklist

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

How it works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which typically takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Make sure the area is dry

Advice

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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.

What we work on

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • 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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why Trowbridge clients choose us

Trowbridge questions

Which areas do you work in?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Trowbridge. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Trowbridge?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your BA14 postcode.

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Quotes from your photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price.
