Non-slip bath & shower coating in Merton, Oxfordshire

- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

The process
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. It normally takes a few hours, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Ensure the room can be ventilated

Advice
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Merton
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in acrylic baths, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When a repair is not the answer
A repair isn’t always the answer, and we’ll tell you before we start. Repairs won’t solve:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
What affects the price in Merton
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How much damage there is
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Natural light rather than flash
- One sharp close-up of the damage
We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
For anyone letting property in or around Merton, we will quote for several properties at once. Send pictures for each one and we’ll price them together.

Common questions in Merton
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time we agree with you.
Do you come to Merton?
We do. Technicians travel to Merton from across the region, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.
Can you quote from photos?
Generally, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Are you accredited?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.
Common problems we fix in Merton
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they match the colour on site
- Who turns up on the day
- If travel is included in the price
- How to look after the finish
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
What you get with us
- Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
- A year’s guarantee on all work
- Nothing taken out or refitted
- Honest advice, even when it means no job

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 typically cheaper.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
