Trusted non-slip bath coating in Birchgrove

Non-slip bath coating in Birchgrove, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Birchgrove

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Honest limits

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Materials we repair

  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths

Common questions in Birchgrove

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Do you come to Birchgrove?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Birchgrove. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Birchgrove?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Are there extra charges for Birchgrove?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repairing versus replacing in Birchgrove

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip 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 no extras added later.

Why Birchgrove clients choose us

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • One price list for the whole UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

See our prices page.

How the visit works

When we visit, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a few hours. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Details of any past repairs

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
