Non-slip bath coating in Kew, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Prices and what affects them
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- How much damage there is
- What the surface is made of
- Unusual colours or finishes
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Kew. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.
How to get a fixed price
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- Natural light rather than flash
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
Most clients in Kew get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

The process
On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible

FAQs for Kew
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
Do you cover Kew?
Yes. We work across the UK and travel to Kew and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Do the materials smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. If photos do not show enough, we’ll ask for another angle.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
When we’d advise against a repair
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not fix:
- 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 photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Materials we repair
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
