Non-slip bath coating near Whissonsett

Non-slip bath coating in Whissonsett without replacing anything

It’s popular with 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. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Whissonsett. What changes the price is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 will tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

Questions from Whissonsett

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Whissonsett, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will handle the rest.

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

How to get a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Repairing versus replacing in Whissonsett

Instead, you could go for 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. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
