Non-slip bath coating for Plaistow homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Plaistow

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most frequently call us about safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What we cannot put right

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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’ll give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

Common questions in Plaistow

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.

Is there a call-out fee?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Will the price change on the day?

We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures can’t show what we need.

Do you work in Plaistow?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Plaistow and the rest of West Sussex. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

Advice

How we price non-slip bath coating

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Compared with replacing, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

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

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size

Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

When to call us in Plaistow

Smooth surfaces are 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.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

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

Before booking anyone

  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Who will actually do the work
