If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think.

Non-slip bath coating in Watley's End 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. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in South Gloucestershire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean.

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

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Watley's End?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people get in touch when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How the room is protected while they work

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Watley's End questions

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Watley's End?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will it make a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Work for landlords and builders

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Watley's End as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Watley's End. What changes the price is:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Details of any past repairs

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

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 coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.
