Need non-slip bath coating in Sidcup?

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Sidcup

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Sidcup: your questions answered

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just make sure the landlord agrees.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Are there extra charges for Sidcup?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Will there be a smell?

A little, depending on the job. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

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

Do you come to Sidcup?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sidcup for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.

Repairing versus replacing in Sidcup

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is normally a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

What you get with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish

See our pricing.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sidcup as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

When a repair isn’t the answer

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Send photos for a quote

Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

To get a price, send a couple of photos using our quote form or ring us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.

What happens on the day

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so there are no surprises. Then the area is sheeted and masked and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will tell you if anything changes.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your DA14 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
