About our non-slip bath coating in Royal Docks

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Royal Docks

What happens next?

We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

What happens if you find more damage?

The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

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

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you charge for travel?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Royal Docks?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but 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:

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

Our hiring checklist

DIY kit or professional repair?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair won’t do:

  • 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 before you book.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Royal Docks

There’s no charge for travel to Royal Docks. The price depends on:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • How hard the colour is to match

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you are in Royal Docks and want a price, the easiest route is photos: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

Repair or replace in Royal Docks?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Usually one visit, start to finish
  • Work done at your home or business
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know about parking or access

Ask for a price
