Non-slip bath & shower coating in Barnes, Greater London
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Barnes, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
DIY repairs versus a professional job
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, then guarantee it for a year.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Non-slip bath coating in Barnes, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, we can typically put it right, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.
You’re covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repairing versus replacing in Barnes
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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Barnes
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
Questions to ask before you book
- How long it needs to cure
- What aftercare is recommended
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How long the guarantee is and what it covers
The process
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Getting a price
No survey visit is needed: we price from photos. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Common questions in Barnes
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed quote, plus dates. You are under no obligation.
Can you repair something that is been repaired before?
Generally, yes. Tell us what was done before and we will plan for it.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Landlord and trade work in Barnes
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Prices are worked out job by job, from your photos. The main factors are:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.
Getting a price from pictures
Before you send photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- What it’s made of, if you know
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A picture taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
