About our non-slip bath coating in West End

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Hertfordshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer

To be straight with you, some problems need a different 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 will tell you honestly.

West End questions

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

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is it messy?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

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 will say so.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

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

How do I book?

Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Do you cover West End?

Yes, we do. Repair technicians travel to West End from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in West End?

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

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Worn-out textured areas

Questions to ask before you book

  • When it can be used again
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

We work cleanly and quietly, so you can stay at home while we are there. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.

  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. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

Landlord and trade work in West End

For anyone letting property in or around West End, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in West End

We don’t charge extra for travel to West End. The price comes down to:

  • Access to the area
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The type of damage

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for West End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

When you take your pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Something in shot to show the size

Email us a photo of the damage and one of the entire item, and tell us you’re in West End, and we will come back with a fixed quote.
