How we handle non-slip bath coating in Upper Norwood

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you come to Upper Norwood?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Upper Norwood from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Upper Norwood?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

When we would advise against a repair

A repair isn’t always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. We can’t 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’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Upper Norwood

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for these signs:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • What preparation is included
  • How to look after the finish
  • How changes to the job are handled

How to compare quotes

How the visit works

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job usually takes a few hours. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.

  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. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access

How to get a price

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

Repairing versus replacing in Upper Norwood

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for Upper Norwood. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why Upper Norwood clients choose us

  • Work done at your home or business
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • Rooms protected and left tidy

What affects the price in Upper Norwood

We give every job a fixed price from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Send pictures for a quote

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Any details about the material
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Just send photos, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
