What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Advice

About our non-slip bath coating in Southgate

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 resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.

What we are called out for in Southgate

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Southgate: your questions answered

Do you cover Southgate?

We do. Technicians travel to Southgate from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will there be a smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working, which fades afterwards.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Can tenants book a repair?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the whole UK, including Southgate and the rest of West Sussex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs 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.

When we would advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t 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 pictures and we will tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once

We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Getting a price from photos

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

Send us photos of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you are in Southgate, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Southgate

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southgate as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it normally costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Southgate, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
