Non-slip bath coating at your home in Willoughby

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and shower trays alike.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The material
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Unusual colours or finishes

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what to send:

  • The material, if you know it
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash

Most customers in Willoughby get their price from photos. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Do you cover the whole of Lincolnshire?

The whole UK, including all of Lincolnshire. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

Will it make a mess?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Willoughby

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Willoughby?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

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?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book.
