Need non-slip bath coating in White Lackington?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Non-slip bath coating in White Lackington, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually. The main factors are:

  • How much damage there is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Quotes from your pictures

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your DT2 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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 remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
