Non-slip bath coating in Temple Bar, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in acrylic baths, shower trays and enamelled baths.

You are covered after we leave: our one-year guarantee applies to every job, and we will explain exactly what it covers when we quote. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You’ll know the full cost before booking. We look at:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The type of damage
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off

We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.

How to get a fixed quote

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:

  • Where you are, by postcode
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • The material, if you know it
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote the same day in most cases.

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas

Should I try a DIY kit first?

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.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Temple Bar

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for householders, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses across Greater London.

What areas do you cover?

We cover the entire UK, including Temple Bar and the rest of Greater London. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Temple Bar?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. Tell us if you need it done quickly.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair cannot put right:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before booking.

Materials we work on in Temple Bar

  • Shower trays
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Why us?

  • Straight answers about what a repair can do
  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

The process

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a few hours, and you can get on with other things while we are there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

How to get a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.
