Non-slip bath coating in Arnos Grove

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.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How the colour is matched
  • If travel is included in the price

Choosing a repair company

Non-slip bath coating in Arnos Grove, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • How much damage there is
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Arnos Grove. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed price, not an estimate.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

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 you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Repairing versus replacing in Arnos Grove

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Take a look at our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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 then the old filler has to be removed first.

Questions from Arnos Grove

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
