What we can’t put right
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair won’t do:
- 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 photos and we will tell you honestly.
Surfaces we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Penge
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. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on shower trays, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time we’ve agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job typically takes a morning or an afternoon. We clean up when we’re done and tell you when it’s ready to use.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can

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 non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Questions from Penge
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the pictures and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Penge?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before you book.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We’re happy to deal with the tenant, landlord or agent. Just ensure the landlord agrees.
Work for landlords and builders
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Penge is about 1 mile west of Beckenham, in Greater London. Clients in Penge get the same service as everywhere else we cover: a fixed price from your pictures, then a visit to do the work. Penge is one of 764 places in Greater London where we work. We work right across the region, from Penge to London (6 miles away).
Our visits in SE20, SE19 and SE26 are booked in the same way as anywhere else. Local streets include High Street, Anerley Station Road and Station Road, all of which we cover. Being close to the A234, Penge is simple for us to get to.

What affects the price in Penge
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
No two jobs are quite the same, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed price
Most quotes are done from pictures alone. To make it quick:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- Any details about the material
- Details of any past repairs
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through.
Other services in Penge
Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
