Non-slip bath coating in Barking Riverside

About our non-slip bath coating in Barking Riverside

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right.

All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure 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.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Barking Riverside. The price reflects:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed price

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. 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.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Ask for a price

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 adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
