Non-slip bath coating in Ponders End without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 Ponders End clients choose us

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • No need to remove anything

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

Do I have to be there?

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • How much damage there is

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Send photos for a quote

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

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

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

What we do, step by step

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
