Non-slip bath coating for Sutton homes

How the visit works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job normally takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Sutton

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, 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 worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Sutton

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Most people contact us when they notice one of these:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Aftercare advice
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • Who turns up on the day

Choosing a repair company

When we’d advise against a repair

We won’t take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • 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 photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we work on

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

Repair or replace in Sutton?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

What you get with us

  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

Questions from Sutton

Will you leave a mess?

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

Do you come to Sutton?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and come to Sutton. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We will tell you when the room can be used again.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

If you manage property in Sutton, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • The colour and finish to match

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so you know the cost before booking.

How to get a fixed quote

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

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One sharp close-up of the damage

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
