Landlords, agents and businesses in South Lambeth

About our non-slip bath coating in South Lambeth

It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How to compare quotes

Repairing versus replacing in South Lambeth

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, 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 typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you are paying for.

Why book with us

  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Generally one visit, start to finish

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

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

When a repair is not the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:

  • 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.

Materials we repair

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

Questions from South Lambeth

What happens after I send pictures?

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

Will you leave a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

What happens if you find more damage?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. You won’t be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What happens on the day

We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Let us know about parking or access

Advice

What affects the price in South Lambeth

You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • How many areas need work
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Getting a price from photos

You can take the pictures on your phone. Ensure they show:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.
