Trusted non-slip bath coating in Dorking

Non-slip bath coating in Dorking without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything is not right, ring us and we will sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Dorking: your questions answered

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Dorking?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your RH4 postcode.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you cover the whole of Surrey?

Across the UK, and that includes Dorking. Prices don’t change with location.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Will I see the coating?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Dorking.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

What information do you need?

Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we will take it from there.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing normally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • Doing more than one item at once

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your photos

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any details about the material
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
