Non-slip bath coating in East Finchley without replacing anything
It suits 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 work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in East Finchley
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Greater London and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will get on with it. The job generally runs to a few hours.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Let us know which floor the room is on
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Prices and what affects them
Prices are worked out job by job. What matters most is:
- How many areas need work
- The material
- Access to the area
- The colour and finish to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
How to get a fixed quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Something in shot to show the size
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
Email us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, and tell us you are in East Finchley, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Repair or replace in East Finchley?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Can I fix it myself?
If you’re set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
