Non-slip bath coating in Muswell Hill

What we’re called out for in Muswell Hill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

You may need us if you’ve spotted any of these:

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

What your quote should include

  • How your room will be protected
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included

Our hiring checklist

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Muswell Hill

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.

Peace of mind is built in: 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. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we cannot put right

We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:

  • 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 pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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 lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price

Repairing versus replacing in Muswell Hill

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

What affects the price in Muswell Hill

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

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Muswell Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Something in shot to show the size

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 over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Common questions in Muswell Hill

What areas do you cover?

We work UK-wide, and that includes Muswell Hill. Prices do not change with location.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Is there a call-out fee?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What happens once I’ve sent photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Do you come to Muswell Hill?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Muswell Hill. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. If photos do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

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.
