Non-slip bath coating for Croydon homes

Non-slip bath coating in Croydon without replacing anything

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

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

If you manage property in Croydon, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

FAQs for Croydon

Will it make a mess?

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

Do you work in Croydon?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Croydon and the rest of Greater London. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

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.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Prices and what affects them

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We take into account:

  • The material
  • The type of damage
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Please include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Open a window if you can

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Repairing versus replacing in Croydon

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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.
