Non-slip bath & shower coating in Wells-next-the-Sea, Norfolk
We travel to Wells-next-the-Sea for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
Can I fix it myself?
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.
For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
Non-slip bath coating in Wells-next-the-Sea without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Wells-next-the-Sea as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.
