Non-slip bath coating in Tooting

About our non-slip bath coating in Tooting

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. We regularly repair enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.

Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Tooting, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Tooting use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

Tooting questions

What happens next?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

When can you do it?

We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Will it make a mess?

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

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Tooting. The price reflects:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish

A repair usually costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:

  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

Common problems we fix in Tooting

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.

Common reasons people in Tooting contact us include:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • Aftercare advice
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
  • How your room will be protected

10 questions to ask before booking

When we would advise against a repair

It helps to know what we cannot do too:

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

Materials we work on in Tooting

  • Shower trays

The process

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  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, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Open a window if you can

Getting a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos through our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Advice

Repair or replace in Tooting?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why Tooting clients choose us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Typically one visit, start to finish
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
