About our non-slip bath coating in Southfields
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us) alike.
We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Southfields
Do you cover the whole of Thurrock?
We cover the whole UK, including Southfields and the rest of Thurrock. Send your postcode with your photos and we’ll confirm dates.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote with dates.
Is it messy?
Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.
Do the materials smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Just add the extra items to your pictures and we will quote them together.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time we agree with you.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Honest limits
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we repair
- Acrylic baths
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Send photos for a quote
You can take the pictures on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:
- Any details about the material
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Repair or replace in Southfields?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Southfields. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What else we do in Southfields
Common problems we fix in Southfields
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote

- Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?
Landlords, agents and businesses in Southfields
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Southfields as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
If you manage property in Southfields, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we’ll come back with a combined price.
Can I fix it myself?
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and tidy away. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
How to get a price
Email us a picture of the damage and one of the entire item, with your RM16 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
