Trusted non-slip bath coating in Telegraph Hill

Non-slip bath coating in Telegraph Hill, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you are not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

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 we’re called out for in Telegraph Hill

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.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • Who turns up on the day
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

FAQs for Telegraph Hill

Do you work in Telegraph Hill?

Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Telegraph Hill. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Usually, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. Your fixed quote includes everything.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Repairing versus replacing in Telegraph Hill

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.

What happens on the day

Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive on time, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
