Non-slip bath coating near Wellington

Landlord and trade work in Wellington

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

About our non-slip bath coating in Wellington

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

Wellington questions

What happens if you find more damage?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

How do I book?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

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

We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your HR4 postcode.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How the visit works

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

What we can’t put right

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Wellington?

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Most people contact us after spotting something like this:

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Wellington. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Wellington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.

Repairing versus replacing in Wellington

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
