About our non-slip bath coating in Hamrow

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

When we’d advise against a repair

We’d rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

How the visit works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip.

For anyone letting property in or around Hamrow, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The type of damage
  • How many areas need work
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Hamrow questions

Do you come to Hamrow?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is there a guarantee?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

What happens after I send photos?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. 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.

When to call us in Hamrow

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.

Clients generally contact us about:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What preparation is included
  • How to care for the finish

Choosing a repair company

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
