Non-slip bath coating in Charlton, done in place
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We are often asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Charlton
Smooth surfaces are 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.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Before you book anyone

DIY kit or professional repair?
A DIY attempt is not a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Charlton questions
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Charlton?
We give a fixed price from your photos. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. You will not be charged for anything you haven’t agreed.
Is the work guaranteed?
Yes, for a year. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
What do you need from me?
Some photos, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Repair or replace in Charlton?
Instead, you could go for 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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
