Non-slip bath coating near Redbridge

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Redbridge

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can generally put it right.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Redbridge and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Redbridge

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Redbridge

Prices are worked out job by job. The main factors are:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Redbridge. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed quote

You can generally get a fixed price without us visiting. To make it quick:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The material, if you know it

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away if a repair is the right fix.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  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, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What your quote should include

  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How soon you can use it again
  • What prep work is covered

Our hiring checklist

Honest limits

Not everything can be repaired, and we will tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
