  • Outdoor surfaces

  • Acrylic baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Non-slip bath coating at your home in New Eltham

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from New Eltham

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we will quote them together.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will it make a mess?

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

Do the materials smell?

There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in New Eltham?

Every job gets a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SE9 postcode.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Work for landlords and builders

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which matters when someone is living in the home.

What we are called out for in New Eltham

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to look after the finish

10 questions to ask before you book

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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 tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We price every job individually, from your photos. The main factors are:

  • The type of damage
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know

If you are in New Eltham and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

The process

There’s not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, including clearing up.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Repairing versus replacing in New Eltham

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Compared with replacing, repairing typically costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
