Need non-slip bath coating in Upper Kingston?

Work for landlords and builders

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.

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

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Upper Kingston

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths, and people most often call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

10 questions to ask before you book

How we price non-slip bath coating

We do not charge extra for travel to Upper Kingston. The price comes down to:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • How many areas need work
  • Unusual colours or finishes

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

Quotes from your pictures

Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:

  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

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 pictures.

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, protect the area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If anything looks different from your photos, we’ll talk to you before going ahead.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
