Non-slip bath coating in East End

About our non-slip bath coating in East End

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • How much damage there is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

What we are called out for in East End

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What prep work is covered

10 questions to ask before you book

How the visit works

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we will explain it before carrying on.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear the area around the damage

Getting a price

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

Related advice

Repair or replace in East End?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • No need to remove anything
  • One visit for most repairs
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We leave the room as we found it

Can I fix it myself?

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.

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

FAQs for East End

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

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before and we’ll plan for it.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

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?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly before booking.
