Trusted non-slip bath coating in Upper Stratton

Non-slip bath coating in Upper Stratton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Upper Stratton and across Swindon. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

Not everything can be repaired, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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 before booking.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays

Landlord and trade work in Upper Stratton

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Upper Stratton questions

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Choosing a repair company

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Stratton

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What you get with us

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Work done at your home or business

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Most customers in Upper Stratton get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Can I fix it myself?

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 doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
