Book non-slip bath coating in Merton

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Merton

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Merton

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

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • How the room is protected while they work

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll arrange it.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:

  • 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

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

Why repair rather than replace?

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. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Why Merton clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

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

Getting a price from pictures

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and no obligation.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

Advice

Merton: your questions answered

Is there a call-out fee?

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

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Do the materials smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied. It fades as everything cures.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.

Can landlords book you?

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

Can I add another job to the visit?

Of course, and it usually saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
