Stepney questions
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
We’ll show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Can pets and children be at home?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you cover Stepney?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Stepney for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes: twelve months. If anything goes wrong with the repair within the year, we return to fix it.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Non-slip bath coating in Stepney, done in place
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We are often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, in resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Stepney as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
How we price non-slip bath coating
You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- How hard the colour is to match
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.
Getting a price from photos
Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Details of any past repairs
- A picture taken from further back
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Upload photos of the damage and a wider shot of the whole item, with your HU5 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Point us to the nearest place to park
