Non-slip bath coating near Westlands

When a repair isn’t the answer

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

  • Shower trays

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Westlands

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most often call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Westlands. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Advice

DIY kit or professional repair?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common problems we fix in Westlands

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Do you cover the whole of Stoke-on-Trent?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Stoke-on-Trent.

For landlords and businesses

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Westlands as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed price

You can take the pictures on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it

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