Non-slip bath coating for Watten homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Watten

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you know when to expect us. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. The room is left tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Ask for a price

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your KW1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Watten

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

Honest limits

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we will tell you before we start. We cannot fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

What affects the price in Watten

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Watten. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Watten?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

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