It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Upper Walthamstow?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why Upper Walthamstow customers choose us

  • No need to remove anything
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we take into account:

  • How many areas need work
  • The type of damage
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

Send photos for a quote

Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, normally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing

How to get a price

No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

FAQs for Upper Walthamstow

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.

How do I clean it?

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

Does someone need to be in?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before and we will plan for it.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

Can landlords book you?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

When a repair isn’t the answer

We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:

  • 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 will say what we think.

Materials we repair
