About our non-slip bath coating in Wickham Street

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What a repair cannot fix

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Wickham Street. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The material

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why Wickham Street customers choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

How it works

You do not need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you are happy with the plan. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Wickham Street

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you work in Wickham Street?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Wickham Street for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Wickham Street?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before booking

  • Who turns up on the day
  • When it can be used again
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
