Non-slip bath coating in Wilby, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Open a window if you can

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When to call us in Wilby

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • 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

  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

What a repair can’t fix

We will always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

FAQs for Wilby

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

All of Suffolk, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

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

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Wilby?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will it make a mess?

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

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book.

Quotes from your pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

For a price in Wilby, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
