Non-slip bath coating for Kew homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Kew

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, across shower trays, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we’re called out for in Kew

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.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

How to compare quotes

Landlords, agents and businesses in Kew

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Sefton and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

How the visit works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • How much damage there is
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Access to the area

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

How to get a fixed price

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Kew. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

Common questions in Kew

Can you quote from pictures?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How do I book?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can pets and children be at home?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Kew?

We give a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your PR8 postcode.
