Non-slip bath coating in Wigston without replacing anything

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. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

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.

The process

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

When we’d advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. We cannot 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.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Wigston

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

What you get with us

  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • One-year guarantee on every repair

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Common reasons people in Wigston contact us are:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What affects the price in Wigston

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Questions from Wigston

Do you come to Wigston?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Wigston and the rest of Leicestershire. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your LE18 postcode.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

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

Are there extra charges for Wigston?

There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
