Non-slip bath coating for Sutton homes

What a repair can’t fix

A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:

  • 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’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Non-slip bath coating in Sutton without replacing anything

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and acrylic baths alike.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months in Sutton and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The type of damage
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Any details about the material

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

DIY kit or professional repair?

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

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, and the work is guaranteed.

Landlord and trade work in Sutton

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in St Helens and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.

Repair or replace in Sutton?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

How it works

We begin by going over the job with you. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We’ll say immediately if a repair is the right fix.

Questions from Sutton

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

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

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

Are there extra charges for Sutton?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.

Can you quote from photos?

In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.

What happens next?

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

Will the price change on the day?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.

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. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

What your quote should include

  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
