Non-slip bath coating in Westcombe Park

What we do, step by step

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 few hours, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  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, typically overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

Non-slip bath coating in Westcombe Park without replacing anything

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our repair technicians work on acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths, and people most frequently call us about a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • A fixed quote before booking

Work for landlords and builders

Letting agents often 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.

If you manage property in Westcombe Park, we will quote for several properties at once. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.

Common questions in Westcombe Park

How quickly can you book me in?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we’ll do what we can.

Can you price it without visiting?

Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.

What do you need from me?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we will agree a date.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is there a guarantee?

All our work carries our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.

What a repair can’t fix

A repair is not right for every job, for example:

  • 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What we work on

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We charge the same across the UK, including Westcombe Park. The price reflects:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • What the surface is made of
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Quotes from your pictures

Phone photos are fine. Just ensure we can see:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • What it’s made of, if you know

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Westcombe Park?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Typical reasons for a call-out include:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • Whether a trained technician does the job
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
