Non-slip bath coating in Old Coulsdon, done in place
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on enamelled baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
Every repair is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Greater London. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating
There is no charge for travel to Old Coulsdon. The price comes down to:
- What the surface is made of
- Doing more than one item at once
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The type of damage
Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Quotes from your pictures
Two or three clear photos are normally enough. It helps if you send:
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- A photo taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.
Common questions in Old Coulsdon
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Old Coulsdon?
Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your CR5 postcode.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Typically, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so mention it when you send photos.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Work for landlords and builders
Letting agents frequently send us pictures 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.
For anyone letting property in or around Old Coulsdon, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Old Coulsdon?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Look out for these signs:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
Before you book anyone
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- When it can be used again
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 will give you a straight answer.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
