About our non-slip bath coating in Dalston
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and enamelled baths.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Dalston
We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
DIY kit or professional repair?
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, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
What non-slip bath coating costs
Each job gets its own fixed price. This is what makes a difference:
- The colour and finish to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- The material and finish
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 quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from pictures
You can normally get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- One sharp close-up of the damage
To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
How it works
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
Get a quote
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Dalston
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
The most common problems we’re called about are:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- How your room will be protected
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether a trained technician does the job
Repairing versus replacing in Dalston
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
