About our non-slip bath coating in Stroud Common

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths.

All our work comes with our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Choosing a repair company

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.

Why book with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Prices and what affects them

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

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage
  • The material
  • Whether we combine several jobs

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job.

Stroud Common: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you work in Stroud Common?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Stroud Common and the rest of Surrey. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

DIY kit or professional repair?

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The process

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we will explain when it can be used and how to care for it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

How to get a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.
