Non-slip bath coating in Lower Holloway without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Lower Holloway
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Lower Holloway as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
The process
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your photos first. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have a window or extractor fan available
Ask for a price
Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your N7 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote.

What affects the price in Lower Holloway
There is no area surcharge for Lower Holloway. What changes the price is:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Access to the area
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- Natural light rather than flash
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

Lower Holloway questions
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Do I need to be at home?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. Then we’ll agree a date.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
Are you a vetted contractor?
We are accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What happens if you find more damage?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
