Trusted non-slip bath coating in Yate

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in South Gloucestershire and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

For anyone letting property in or around Yate, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Yate

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Yate and across South Gloucestershire. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Yate?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

How it works

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

What affects the price in Yate

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

  • The material and finish
  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Yate, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Yate

Is there a call-out fee?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Is repairing better than replacing?

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

Do you cover the whole of South Gloucestershire?

Everywhere in the UK, Yate included. Travel is included in the price.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Do you come to Yate?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Yate for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

When we’d advise against a repair

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We can’t 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Yate

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

Repairing versus replacing in Yate

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
