Non-slip bath coating for Westbury-on-Trym homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Westbury-on-Trym

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Common questions in Westbury-on-Trym

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Do you hold any accreditations?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.

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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Westbury-on-Trym. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Getting a price from photos

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Upload a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Westbury-on-Trym, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Get a quote

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
