Non-slip bath coating for Lea homes

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Lea

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. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

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

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage

Advice

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lea use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

10 questions to ask before you book

Common questions in Lea

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

What happens after I send pictures?

We come back with a fixed price, plus dates. There is no obligation to book.

What information do you need?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How we price non-slip bath coating

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

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Where you are, by postcode

If you are in Lea and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Why book with us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • One price list for the entire UK
  • Work done at your home or business

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

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, a professional repair is worth it.
