Non-slip bath coating in Bow Common

Non-slip bath coating in Bow Common without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you know when to expect us. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

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

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’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to Bow Common. The price comes down to:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

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

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material

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

Landlord and trade work in Bow Common

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bow Common use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. 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.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

FAQs for Bow Common

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Can you price it without visiting?

In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it messy?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

10 questions to ask before booking

Repair or replace in Bow Common?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking.
