Non-slip bath coating in Clerkenwell

What affects the price in Clerkenwell

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • The material and finish
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The colour and finish to match

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

If you’re in Clerkenwell and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Non-slip bath coating in Clerkenwell without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Clerkenwell

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Is there any odour?

There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can pets and children be at home?

Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Clerkenwell. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Normally one visit, start to finish
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

When we’d advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

Materials we work on in Clerkenwell

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  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.

Preparing for the visit

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

Landlords, agents and businesses in Clerkenwell

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

When to call us in Clerkenwell

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How the colour is matched
  • What protection goes down before work starts
