How we handle non-slip bath coating in Stanford Common

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Stanford Common and everywhere else. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Read our pricing.

Prices and what affects them

You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How much damage there is
  • The material
  • How hard the colour is to match

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send pictures for a quote

It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For a price in Stanford Common, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you, so you know exactly what we’re doing. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. Allow a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll keep you posted as we go.

  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, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately whether it can be repaired.

10 questions to ask before you book

Landlord and trade work in Stanford Common

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanford Common use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Questions from Stanford Common

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we’ll ask.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Do you cover the entire of Surrey?

We work UK-wide, so Stanford Common is covered. Prices don’t change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

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

Is there any odour?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed price without visiting.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair can’t fix

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer.
