Non-slip bath coating near Turfdown

What happens on the day

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Turfdown

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths alike.

Peace of mind is built in: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When we’d advise against a repair

To be straight with you, 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

If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Turfdown. What changes the price is:

  • How many areas need work
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • What the surface is made of
  • The type of damage

A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Send pictures for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just ensure we can see:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates

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

Landlord and trade work in Turfdown

If you manage property in Turfdown, we’ll quote for several properties at once. Send photos for each one and we will price them together.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there is no premium for Turfdown. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • Everything repaired in place
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
