Need non-slip bath coating in Notting Hill?

When a repair is not the answer

We will not take on work that will not last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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.

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Notting Hill

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Work for landlords and builders

For anyone letting property in or around Notting Hill, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send photos for each address and we’ll price them together.

Hospitality businesses can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

The process

On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  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. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

Getting a price

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

Common questions in Notting Hill

Can you quote from pictures?

Typically, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Prices don’t change with location.

How do I book?

Just photos, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Prices and what affects them

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work

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

How to get a fixed price

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Repair or replace in Notting Hill?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Why choose Surface Doctor in Notting Hill

  • A year’s guarantee on all work

DIY repairs versus a professional job

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

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.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Notting Hill

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before booking

  • How to look after the finish
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What preparation is included
