What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

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.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs

For a price in Wattisfield, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

About our non-slip bath coating in Wattisfield

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Suffolk. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Wattisfield

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

How soon can you come?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the whole UK, including Wattisfield and the rest of Suffolk. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Suffolk.

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. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Our hiring checklist

What we cannot put right

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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
