Non-slip bath coating in Tooting Bec without replacing anything

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you’re dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

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 generally takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

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

What we cannot put right

In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

What we work on

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

Repairing versus replacing in Tooting Bec

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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.

Prices and what affects them

There is no charge for travel to Tooting Bec. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Compared with replacing, repairing usually costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Questions from Tooting Bec

Will you leave a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we have finished.

Do you work in Tooting Bec?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Tooting Bec and the rest of Greater London. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

What information do you need?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the entire bath or shower tray and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Do I have to be there?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
