Non-Slip Bath Coating in Balham
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Balham and the surrounding area, usually in one visit.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
No two jobs are quite the same, 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 photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- The material, if you know it
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Details of any past repairs
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Non-slip bath coating in Balham 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. Common call-outs are for bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before booking. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people

Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is generally the cheaper route.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.
Why book with us
- Dust sheets down, tidy finish
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- A fixed quote before booking
- One visit for most repairs
