Non-slip bath & shower coating in South Norwood, Greater London
We travel to South Norwood for clear non-slip coatings for baths and shower trays. Everything is done in place, with a one-year guarantee.
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
How we handle non-slip bath coating in South Norwood
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We are frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.
We guarantee the work for a year. 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.

What non-slip bath coating costs
We give every job a fixed price from pictures. These are the things that affect it:
- The material
- The colour and finish to match
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether we combine several jobs
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.
Getting a price from pictures
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- A photo taken from further back
- Details of any past repairs
To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in South Norwood
Do the materials smell?
Expect a mild smell while we are working.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.
Can pets and children be at home?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Can you price it without visiting?
Normally, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will it make a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
What happens after I send photos?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.
What do you need from me?
Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.
What a repair cannot fix
Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:
- 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.
Materials we repair
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths

Landlord and trade work in South Norwood
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.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We apply the clear textured coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
If you are in South Norwood and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
Advice
Why repair rather than replace?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
