Non-slip bath coating in Addington

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Addington

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits 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, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair 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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

If you’re in Addington and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

The process

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon, tidy-up included.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Make sure the area is dry

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Advice

Can I fix it myself?

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, it’s worth having it done properly.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Addington

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Addington?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What happens next?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
