Non-Slip Bath Coating for West Ilsley homes

Non-slip bath coating in West Ilsley without replacing anything
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Let us know about parking or access

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Repairing versus replacing in West Ilsley
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

West Ilsley: your questions answered
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Yes, we frequently do. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from photos?
Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
How do I book?
Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Ilsley. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Getting a price from photos
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- Any details about the material
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
If you are in West Ilsley and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will handle the rest.
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Ilsley use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
When we would advise against a repair
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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.
