Non-slip bath coating in Finsbury

How it works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Non-slip bath coating in Finsbury without replacing anything

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

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.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Finsbury

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Can landlords book you?

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

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Do you come to Finsbury?

We do. We send a technician to Finsbury for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why us?

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Prices and what affects them

You will know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from photos

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For a price in Finsbury, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

When to call us in Finsbury

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How to look after the finish

Choosing a repair company

Landlords, agents and businesses in Finsbury

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
