About our non-slip bath coating in Avery Hill
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on resurfaced baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Avery Hill
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Which areas do you work in?
The whole UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we will say so.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.
Repair or replace: which is better?
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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before booking, with no extras added later.

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.
What we work on

- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What affects the price in Avery Hill
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
We don’t add 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.
Getting a price from pictures
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Details of any past repairs
- Something in shot to show the size
- Where you are, by postcode
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
How it works
Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
- Let us know about parking or access
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Getting a price
A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
