Non-slip bath coating near Weston

Non-slip bath coating in Weston, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Weston and across Southampton. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Weston

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • How to look after the finish
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How it works

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Are you accredited?

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale

Send us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, and tell us you are in Weston, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair won’t 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 pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
