Non-slip bath & shower coating in Elmstead, Greater London
Clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays in Elmstead, carried out at your home and guaranteed for a year.
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Should I try a DIY kit first?
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.
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Elmstead
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and people most frequently call us about resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price 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 photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

What non-slip bath coating costs
You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- How much damage there is
- The colour and finish to match
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- Whether we combine several jobs
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Elmstead. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your photos
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- The material, if you know it
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Upload a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in Elmstead, and we will reply with a fixed quote.
When a repair is not the answer
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Advice
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us photos straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, photos and access details and we will handle the rest.
