Non-slip bath coating for East End homes

About our non-slip bath coating in East End

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We’re often asked to fix safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in East End and across Bedford Borough. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it.

What affects the price in East End

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Details of any past repairs
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

What a repair can’t fix

To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common questions in East End

Do you cover the entire of Bedford Borough?

The entire UK, including all of Bedford Borough. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What do you need from me?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll take it from there.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you work in East End?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to East End from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details.

If you manage property in East End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

What we’re called out for in East End

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

  • How soon you can use it again
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included

10 questions to ask before booking

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

We work cleanly and quietly, 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. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Most clients in East End get their price from photos. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll send back a fixed quote and some dates.
