Non-slip bath coating at your home in Brixton
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and common reasons people contact us are worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace in Brixton?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. 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 play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Landlord and trade work in Brixton
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no area surcharge for Brixton. What changes the price is:
- Access to the area
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
What it costs depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Send photos for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute. Try to send:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- A photo taken from further back
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your SW2 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Can I fix it myself?
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 typically the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
