Trusted non-slip bath coating in Foots Cray

Non-slip bath coating in Foots Cray without replacing anything

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. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across enamelled baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How the visit works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Related advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • No extra charge for your area
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work

Take a look at our full price list.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We charge the same across the UK, including Foots Cray. What changes the price is:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

Send photos for a quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

We price from photos so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Foots Cray as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
