Non-slip bath coating in Sutton without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What we can’t put right

To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:

  • 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What we work on

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

The process

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

What we are called out for in Sutton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Sutton use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

If you manage property in Sutton, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will come back with a combined price.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we look at:

  • The type of damage
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How many areas need work

It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

We price from photos 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 will get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Sutton

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You do not need to watch us work.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include photos of each item.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work in Sutton?

Yes, we do. We send a technician to Sutton for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
