Non-slip bath coating in Bromley Cross

For landlords and businesses

Rental properties take more wear, 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.

Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Non-slip bath coating in Bromley Cross, done in place

It’s popular with 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. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Bromley Cross. What changes the price is:

  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Unusual colours or finishes

We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos 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

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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 we’ll reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.

Common problems we fix in Bromley Cross

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

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

Before you book anyone

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How to look after the finish
  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

Choosing a repair company

Common questions in Bromley Cross

What happens if you find more damage?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Will I see the coating?

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

What happens next?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Bromley Cross?

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

Repairing versus replacing in Bromley Cross

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, so there’s no premium for Bromley Cross. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Read our pricing.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a few hours, including clearing up.

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

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
