  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

Non-slip bath coating in Charlton, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. The job generally runs to a morning or an afternoon.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Charlton. The price comes down to:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match

Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is usually a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear pictures are typically enough. It helps if you send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Charlton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Charlton?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Common reasons people in Charlton contact us include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

10 questions to ask before you book

Charlton questions

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a picture of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, frequently. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

When can you do it?

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

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we’ll quote them together.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Charlton. Prices do not change with location.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Charlton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
