Need non-slip bath coating in Bexley?

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Bexley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • No need to remove anything

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Bexley

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Bexley and across Greater London. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair

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

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we are doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice

Bexley questions

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens next?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

When can you do it?

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

Which areas do you work in?

We cover the entire UK, including Bexley and the rest of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Bexley. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Getting a price from photos

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Most customers in Bexley get their price from pictures. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Common problems we fix in Bexley

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How changes to the job are handled
