Non-Slip Bath Coating in Crystal Palace
We travel to Crystal Palace for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Nothing is taken out, and the work is guaranteed.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Crystal Palace
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Crystal Palace: your questions answered
When can you do it?
Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is it messy?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send pictures.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Crystal Palace?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair will not last.
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.
What we are called out for in Crystal Palace
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Get in touch if you’ve noticed any of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Whether the price covers travel
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Prices and what affects them
We don’t charge extra for travel to Crystal Palace. The price comes down to:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray

- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Send us a picture of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in Crystal Palace, and we will reply with a fixed price.
