Non-slip bath coating in South Wimbledon without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths, and the jobs we see most are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When a repair is not the answer
We won’t take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.

The process
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Clear the area around the damage
Ask for a price
Send us a photo of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your SW19 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

What non-slip bath coating costs
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- The colour and finish to match
- The material
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
How to get a fixed quote
The better the photos, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
Pricing is simple: snap the damage close up and then the entire item, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
Landlords, agents and businesses in South Wimbledon
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.
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.
When to call us in South Wimbledon
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but 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
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a trained technician does the job
- How the room is protected while they work
- What preparation is included
- How the colour is matched
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Set against the cost of replacement, repairing typically costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
