Non-slip bath coating in Herne Hill

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Herne Hill

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. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Herne Hill: your questions answered

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work that clears as it cures.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Herne Hill?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

If you can see any of these, send us a photo:

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

What your quote should include

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • When it can be used again
  • How your room will be protected
  • What prep work is covered

How to compare quotes

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We don’t 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.

Why us?

  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit

Work for landlords and builders

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Herne Hill as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no charge for travel to Herne Hill. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The material and finish
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • The material, if you know it
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

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.

When we would advise against a repair

In fairness, 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

Send us photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Materials we work on in Herne Hill

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

The process

We turn up when we said we would and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
