Non-slip bath coating in Grimstone End

Non-slip bath coating in Grimstone End without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Grimstone End as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

Common questions in Grimstone End

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is the work guaranteed?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Is it messy?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

How do I book?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

The process

We turn up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Grimstone End?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The things customers normally mention when they call include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • When it can be used again
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • If travel is included in the price

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Grimstone End

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

There is no charge for travel to Grimstone End. The price comes down to:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • The material and finish
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

If you are in Grimstone End and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
