Book non-slip bath coating in Elmers End

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Elmers End. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

About our non-slip bath coating in Elmers End

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through how soon it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Questions from Elmers End

What information do you need?

Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Is my repair covered?

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

Do the materials smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.

Are you a vetted contractor?

Can you repair several things at once?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

When to call us in Elmers 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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Elmers End

We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:

  • How much damage there is
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Honest limits

A repair is not always the answer, and we’d rather say so up front. Repairs will not solve:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Can I fix it myself?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
