Trusted non-slip bath coating in East End of London

The process

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we are there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the area is dry

Non-slip bath coating in East End of London, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Any details about the material
  • A picture taken from further back

Send us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your E1 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When to call us in East End of London

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Comparing quotes

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • How the room is protected while they work
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

How to compare quotes

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.

Common questions in East End of London

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
