Need non-slip bath coating in Streatham Hill?

DIY kit or professional repair?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.

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

About our non-slip bath coating in Streatham Hill

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.

Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Streatham Hill and across Greater London. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If anything looks different from your photos, we will talk to you before going ahead.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit

Streatham Hill questions

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Will I see the coating?

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

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

What happens next?

You will get a fixed quote back, usually with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include photos of each item.

Prices and what affects them

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
  • What kind of damage it is

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking.

Quotes from your pictures

You can usually get a fixed price without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings

For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Why book with us

  • Repair technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Same prices wherever you are
  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

Landlords, agents and businesses in Streatham Hill

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

When a repair isn’t the answer

A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:

  • 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 will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

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

When to call us in Streatham Hill

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

Contact us if you’ve noticed:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
