How we handle non-slip bath coating in West Kensington

It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. If you’re dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can normally put it right, on acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

10 questions to ask before booking

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

What non-slip bath coating costs

Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:

  • The material and finish
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for West Kensington. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

How to get a fixed price

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • What it’s made of, if you know

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

West Kensington questions

What areas do you cover?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You will get a fixed figure before you book.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do I need to be at home?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.

What happens after I send pictures?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote and the next dates we have.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 before you book.

Materials we work on in West Kensington

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

How it works

When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job usually takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and tell you when it’s ready to use.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Getting a price

Upload a photo of the damage and one of the whole item, with your W14 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

Repairing versus replacing in West Kensington

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
