Non-slip bath coating for Wickham Heath homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Wickham Heath

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and common reasons people contact us are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Questions from Wickham Heath

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

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.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What do you need from me?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.

When can you do it?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Wickham Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
