Non-slip bath coating at your home in Upper Hackney

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. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

We work cleanly and quietly. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Send us a picture if you notice any of these:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • How long it needs to cure
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • What happens if they find more damage

Our hiring checklist

Should you replace it?

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 adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, 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.

Why Upper Hackney customers choose us

  • One visit for most repairs
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

FAQs for Upper Hackney

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.

Will the price change on the day?

We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Do you come to Upper Hackney?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Upper Hackney and the rest of Derbyshire. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

Across the UK. Prices do not change with location.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Landlord and trade work in Upper Hackney

If you manage property in Upper Hackney, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we will price them together.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Upper Hackney. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match
  • What the surface is made of

What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from pictures

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job.
