Trusted non-slip bath coating in Thamesmead

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Thamesmead

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We work on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance. Once we are there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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

  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access

Getting a price

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will know the full cost before you book. We take into account:

  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • How much damage there is
  • What the surface is made of
  • How easy the damage is to reach

Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from photos

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what helps:

  • Any details about the material
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed quote.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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.

Thamesmead: your questions answered

How quickly can you book me in?

We will give you dates with your quote. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

Can pets and children be at home?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair is not disturbed while it cures.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up and a photo of the entire item with your SE28 postcode.

How do I book?

Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we’ll do the rest.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Is it messy?

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

I rent my home. Can I book you?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

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

What we cannot put right

In fairness, 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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
