Need non-slip bath coating in St Paul's Cray?

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  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

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

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. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

What we are called out for in St Paul's Cray

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

People normally call us after spotting something like this:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • Who turns up on the day
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • How long it needs to cure
  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in St Paul's Cray as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Common questions in St Paul's Cray

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.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We cover the whole UK, including St Paul's Cray and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Will there be a smell?

Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

Are you accredited?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Should you replace it?

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
