If you are on the market for reglazing services, you might have heard about the non-slip coating. If you don’t know what reglazing (also called resurfacing or refinishing) is, check out our other blog posts. Simply put, refinishing is the process applied to bathroom fixtures, tiles and countertops to bring them to their original state. This means the surface is coated with an acrylic agent. The process is a bit more complicated than this, however,
During the reglazing process, our experts can apply a non-stick coating. This has many benefits, of course. Let’s discuss what this coating is, why it is useful, what it can be applied to, and how long it will last. Remember, all our work processes and products are environmentally friendly.
What Is a Non-Slip Coating?
Reglazing your floor tiles, bathtub and shower stall is not difficult to do. Our company has over 10 years of industry experience, so you can expect to get top notch results. But did you know that we can also help prevent accidents? Simply by applying a non-slip coating to areas that become slippery when wet, we can help you protects your loved ones from slips and falls.
The non-slip coating is a fine grid textured surface that prevents slip and fall accidents. It does not contain any lead and can be cleaned using chemical cleaners (it’s best to avoid bleach or highly aggressive agents though). Remember, this is not a bath mat, so it will be almost invisible to the naked eye.
What Can We Apply Non-slip Coating to?

In addition, we can quickly apply the non-slip coating to your bathtub, shower stall, or floor tiles. Also, we can coat the hot tub steps. Basically, we can apply the coating anywhere there is a risk of slipping. Surfaces that become slippery when wet are prime candidates.
The non-slip coating does not stain and is not damaged by water. Also, the coating is extremely durable, so you can expect it to last for up to 8 years. You don’t have to worry about scratches, so you can even use a wheelchair without having to worry about scratching the surface. However, this applies only to professional-grade coating and only if it has been applied by a professional.
Is It Expensive?
The good news is that applying an anti-slip coating to your bathtub, tiles, shower stall, or hot tub steps is not expensive. It is done during the refinishing process, as the final step. However, the price of the coating depends on the company that is doing the resurfacing. Some companies will charge outrageous prices just because you want to keep your loved ones safe.
Our company offers affordable anti-slip application services. In fact, we have been providing top quality customer service to Brooklyn homeowners for more than a decade. You can rest assured that you will get top quality results when you hire us. And besides, applying the anti-skid coating is not very difficult. After the coating on your tub, shower stall or tiles has cured, we will simply apply the anti-slip coating. That’s it; quick and simple.
Will It Peel Off?
Many people don’t realize that reglazing is designed to last for 8 years or more. Our anti-slip coating will not peel off, nor will it discolor. You can clean it just like you would clean the floor tiles or the tub. However, it’s worth noting that the coating is so durable because we use professional-grade agents. Do it yourself kits are usually unable to last more than one or two years without starting to degrade. Keep in mind that as soon as the surface degrades, it becomes slippery again. You want to make sure the coating is in perfect condition for as long as possible to protect yourself and your family from accidents.
Disadvantages of DIY Solutions
The main disadvantage of a DIY anti-skid coating is that it is nowhere as durable as our professional solutions. In addition, the coating may not be able to prevent slips, depending on the manufacturer and on who applied the agents. If you want to make sure you get top quality results from the coating, you should hire one of our reglazing experts. After all, it won’t cost you much to add the non-slip coating after the refinishing process is complete. Don’t take any risks and hire an expert to do a proper reglazing job.
