About our non-slip bath coating in St John's Wood
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us).
The work is covered for a year after we finish. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step
The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Related advice
Repairing versus replacing in St John's Wood
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. Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. 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.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Your questions about non-slip bath coating in St John's Wood
Is the work guaranteed?
Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.
What if the damage is worse than the photos show?
If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. You decide whether to go ahead.
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?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we have finished.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it generally saves money. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
Can pets and children be at home?
Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.
Is there a call-out fee?
No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things a repair will not 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Landlord and trade work in St John's Wood
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
