Trusted non-slip bath coating in Russell Hill

How it works

Your technician turns up when we said we would, introduces themselves and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before we open a single tin. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Non-slip bath coating in Russell Hill without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We regularly repair shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Most people contact us when they notice something like this:

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

How to compare quotes

FAQs for Russell Hill

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Russell Hill?

We give a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your SM6 postcode.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

What happens after I send pictures?

You get a fixed price and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Honest limits

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

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

What affects the price in Russell Hill

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Russell Hill. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Getting a price from pictures

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

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Any details about the material
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

Send us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Russell Hill, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Why repair rather than replace?

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. We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Russell Hill

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we’ll handle the rest.
