Non-slip bath coating for East Dulwich homes

Do you need non-slip bath coating in East Dulwich?

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

These are the problems we are asked about most:

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

Our hiring checklist

How we handle non-slip bath coating in East Dulwich

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right.

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

FAQs for East Dulwich

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

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

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer.

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

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

  • How many areas need work
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

Send pictures for a quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Send us photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your SE5 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

Repair or replace in East Dulwich?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
