Trusted non-slip bath coating in West Knighton

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in West Knighton use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

About our non-slip bath coating in West Knighton

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are 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. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for West Knighton. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Choosing a repair company

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in West Knighton

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can you quote from pictures?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including West Knighton and the rest of Leicester. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

What we do, step by step

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Any details about the material
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in West Knighton, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

When a repair isn’t the answer

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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we repair

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