Non-slip bath coating for Long Ditton homes

About our non-slip bath coating in Long Ditton

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What affects the price in Long Ditton

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Common problems we fix in Long Ditton

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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Who turns up on the day

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Fixed prices from your photos

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we can’t do too:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Long Ditton

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Long Ditton

Can you price it without visiting?

Usually, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Are there extra charges for Long Ditton?

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

Do I have to be there?

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

What information do you need?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Are you a vetted contractor?

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

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

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

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day

How to get a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.
