How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The type of damage

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

About our non-slip bath coating in London Docklands

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and common reasons people contact us are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

The process

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your pictures, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Landlords, agents and businesses in London Docklands

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

What we’re called out for in London Docklands

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What your quote should include

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Aftercare advice

FAQs for London Docklands

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Do you do work for letting agents?

We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Do you hold any accreditations?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Is my repair covered?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will it make a mess?

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Fixed prices from your pictures

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Surfaces we repair

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