Trusted non-slip bath coating in Whinfield

Non-slip bath coating in Whinfield without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We are often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Whinfield: your questions answered

Is there a guarantee?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

When can you do it?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What do you need from me?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can I fix it myself?

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

The process

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Clear the area around the damage

Ask for a price

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

Related advice

Landlords, agents and businesses in Whinfield

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Not everything can be repaired, and we would rather say so up front. We can’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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: 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.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine. Ensure they show:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Upload pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, with your DL1 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • A fixed quote before you book
  • One visit for most repairs
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
