Non-slip bath coating in Woolwell without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Woolwell as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

If you manage property in Woolwell, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:

  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

You can generally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Woolwell?

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. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

Read our pricing.

What we cannot put right

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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Should I try a DIY kit first?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

When to call us in Woolwell

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 things customers typically mention when they call include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Comparing quotes

  • When it can be used again
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • If travel is included in the price
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
