Non-slip bath coating in Sutton

Non-slip bath coating in Sutton without replacing anything

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there is a problem and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

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

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Open a window if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Advice

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are 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. Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

Common problems we fix in Sutton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

The most common problems we are called about are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • What prep work is covered
  • When it can be used again
  • How the colour is matched
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

How to compare quotes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, 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 isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Sutton

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Greater London and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Common questions in Sutton

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Are there extra charges for Sutton?

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

Do I need to be at home?

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

Are you accredited?

We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover the entire of Greater London?

We work UK-wide. Our prices are the same everywhere.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working that clears as it cures.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Sutton?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You will get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Yes, we often do. Removing the old work can add time, and that’s in the quote.

What a repair cannot fix

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. 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

Send us photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What we work on

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

What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • The material
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Most clients in Sutton get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
