Non-slip bath coating at your home in Kensington
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths alike.
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we are done and let you know when you can use it again.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Related advice
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Kensington
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.

The entire UK, including all of Greater London. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll offer you dates.

Do you work in Kensington?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Kensington. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can I fix it myself?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

When we’d advise against a repair

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Kensington?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People typically call us after spotting something like this:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Questions to ask before booking
- How the room is protected while they work
- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
- How to look after the finish
- How changes to the job are handled
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Kensington. The price reflects:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Access to the area
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- How many items we do on one visit
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A photo taken from further back
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, with your W11 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
