Non-slip bath coating in Hillingdon

Repair or replace: which is better?

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. 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.

Non-slip bath coating in Hillingdon, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Hillingdon

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How much damage there is

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Hillingdon

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What a repair cannot fix

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Common questions in Hillingdon

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Of course, and it normally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you come to Hillingdon?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Hillingdon and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
