About our non-slip bath coating in Lewisham

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can typically put it right, whatever the material.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything is not right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Lewisham

Instead, you could go for 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 charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Lewisham. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How the visit works

Arrival times are agreed in advance. On site, it takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Should I try a DIY kit first?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

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.

Lewisham: your questions answered

How soon can you come?

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

You will not pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What kind of damage it is

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
