Non-slip bath coating in North Cray

What we do, step by step

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It usually takes a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Non-slip bath coating at your home in North Cray

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can help, on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something is not right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

What you get with us

  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • No extra charge for your area
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • We leave the room as we found it

Read our full price list.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for North Cray. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • The material, if you know it

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in North Cray, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in North Cray

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The things clients generally mention when they call are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

FAQs for North Cray

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.

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

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

Will I see the coating?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
