How we handle non-slip bath coating in Barbican Estate

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. We are frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

There’s no need for us to visit first. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Advice

What non-slip bath coating costs

We do not charge extra for travel to Barbican Estate. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What the surface is made of

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. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

We price nearly every job from pictures. This is what we need:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Barbican Estate, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.

Landlord and trade work in Barbican Estate

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

If you manage property in Barbican Estate, we will quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

When a repair is not the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

  • Shower trays

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Barbican Estate

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there any odour?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Barbican Estate?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

What happens next?

We review the photos and send a fixed quote.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
