About our non-slip bath coating in South Merstham

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Surrey. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • 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.

FAQs for South Merstham

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.

Is there a guarantee?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

What we do, step by step

On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

Landlord and trade work in South Merstham

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in South Merstham use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in South Merstham?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Quotes from your pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

You don’t need a survey visit. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

DIY kit or professional repair?

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 will not last.

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.
