Non-slip bath coating for Ruislip homes

Landlord and trade work in Ruislip

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

About our non-slip bath coating in Ruislip

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. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The material
  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage

Compared with replacing, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Phone photos are fine, there’s no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • What it’s made of, if you know

No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we will come back with a fixed figure.

Ruislip questions

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

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.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens if you find more damage?

Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.

Do you work in Ruislip?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Ruislip. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK, and that includes Ruislip. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Ruislip?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

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

Before booking anyone

  • If travel is included in the price
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included

Choosing a repair company

What we cannot put right

Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits:

  • 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

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

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. It normally takes a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Related advice

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
