What a repair cannot fix
A repair isn’t right for every job, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

About our non-slip bath coating in Gipsy Hill
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We work on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people.
Every job is backed for twelve months in Gipsy Hill and everywhere else. We return to put right any problem with the work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Gipsy Hill questions
What information do you need?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787, and we will do the rest.
Do you cover the whole of Greater London?
Across the UK, so Gipsy Hill is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. Anything extra is discussed before we begin.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can landlords book you?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged.
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We will explain what it covers when we quote.
Repairing versus replacing in Gipsy Hill
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Gipsy Hill. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

How it works
The work is clean and fairly quiet. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to look after it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
What affects the price in Gipsy Hill
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before booking.
Send pictures for a quote
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what we need:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- The material, if you know it
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.
