About our non-slip bath coating in Watford

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. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Watford

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why Watford clients choose us

What happens on the day

We begin by going over the job with you. After that, protection goes down around the work area and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

Watford questions

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

What happens after I send photos?

You get a fixed quote and available dates. If we need another angle, we will ask.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Do you cover Watford?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Watford. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners.

When a repair isn’t the answer

In fairness, there are a few things a repair won’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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

When to call us in Watford

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Customers usually contact us about:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Questions to ask before you book

  • How soon you can use it again
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

Our hiring checklist

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • What kind of damage it is

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

How to get a fixed quote

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Email us pictures of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you’re in Watford, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
