What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. 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.

Send pictures for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

To get a price, send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say right away if a repair is the right fix.

Non-slip bath coating in Tudhoe without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

FAQs for Tudhoe

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

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.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Tudhoe?

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

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

The process

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Tudhoe

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:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace in Tudhoe?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

Read our pricing.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

When we’d advise against a repair

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
