Non-slip bath coating in Kensal Rise without replacing anything
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Kensal Rise and across Greater London. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What else we do in Kensal Rise
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room. Everything we use comes in the van with us, lay protective sheets and start once you’re happy with the plan. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
Ask for a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
Kensal Rise questions
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
What happens next?
We come back with a fixed price. You’re under no obligation.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
We give a fixed price from your pictures. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Yes, regularly. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you accredited?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Kensal Rise.
What information do you need?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The colour and finish to match
- The type of damage
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Kensal Rise. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Quotes from your pictures
Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- Details of any past repairs
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
Landlord and trade work in Kensal Rise
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Kensal Rise use us as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
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 is easier on the people living there.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t right for every job, for example:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
Materials we work on in Kensal Rise
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Should I try a DIY kit first?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Repairing versus replacing in Kensal Rise
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
