About our non-slip bath coating in Writhlington

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

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

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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.

Surfaces we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Writhlington

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Repair or replace in Writhlington?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

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

10 questions to ask before booking

How we price non-slip bath coating

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • Access to the area
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you’re in Writhlington and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

How to get a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
