Non-slip bath coating at your home in Plaistow

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.

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.

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Plaistow as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

What we are called out for in Plaistow

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

Customers typically contact us about:

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

What your quote should include

  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether they match the colour on site

How to compare quotes

When a repair is not the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we work on in Plaistow

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

Repair or replace in Plaistow?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Plaistow. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Plaistow. 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

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

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What happens on the day

We turn up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Ask for a price

If you’re in Plaistow and want a price, photos 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.

Related advice

Common questions in Plaistow

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

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.
