Non-slip bath & shower coating in Poplar, Greater London
Fixed-price non-slip bath coating in Poplar and the surrounding area, generally in one visit and guaranteed for a year.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.
Why book with us
- Every repair guaranteed for a year
- Rooms protected and left tidy
- Honest advice, even when it means no job
- Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Poplar
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re frequently asked to fix resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, in wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
Peace of mind is built in: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Poplar
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us after spotting one of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

How the visit works
Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, carry out the work and clear up. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- 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
- Ensure the area is dry
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Common questions in Poplar
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
What happens next?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
Will you leave a mess?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Poplar.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Do you cover Poplar?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Poplar. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If photos don’t show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Poplar
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 work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access and we will arrange it.
What non-slip bath coating costs
You’ll know the full cost before you book. We look at:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
- How much damage there is
The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.
Quotes from your pictures
You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:
- Any details about the material
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Where you are, by postcode
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
