Non-slip bath coating near Maple End

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Maple End

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Maple End

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Why Maple End customers choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job

How it works

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

FAQs for Maple End

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Will I see the coating?

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

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you cover Maple End?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Maple End. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Maple End.

Is there any odour?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, which is why we ventilate. It clears as the materials cure.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.

A DIY attempt isn’t 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.

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many areas need work

The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To help us price it:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A picture taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Common problems we fix in Maple End

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
