Non-slip bath coating for Stapleford homes

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you’re not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, usually overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Stapleford

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

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Stapleford

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What affects the price in Stapleford

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • Access to the area
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Details of any past repairs
  • The material, if you know it
  • Natural light rather than flash

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Stapleford, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Honest limits

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Stapleford

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

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Stapleford?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

What to look for in a quote

  • What preparation is included
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • How to care for the finish

Do you charge for travel?

Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Can tenants book a repair?

Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Can landlords book you?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

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

Can I fix it myself?

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, then guarantee it for a year.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Stapleford. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
