Non-slip bath coating in Belsize, done in place

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, on shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we do, step by step

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

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Advice

When to call us in Belsize

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • What preparation is included
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • How to care for the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

When we would advise against a repair

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The colour and finish to match

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any details about the material
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

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.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Belsize: your questions answered

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Do you cover the entire of Hertfordshire?

The entire UK, including all of Hertfordshire. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

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

How soon can you come?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we’re working.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Landlord and trade work in Belsize

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
