Non-slip bath coating for Chatham Green homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Chatham Green

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Chatham Green

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

Of course, and it normally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Are there extra charges for Chatham Green?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is my repair covered?

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

Will the price change on the day?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.

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

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

What we’re called out for in Chatham Green

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price

Our hiring checklist

How it works

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours for most jobs. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

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

Can I fix it myself?

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the entire item, with your CM3 postcode, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Honest limits

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Repair or replace in Chatham Green?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Why us?

  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Typically one visit, start to finish

Work for landlords and builders

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
