- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
How we handle non-slip bath coating in Waltham Abbey
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you have a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can generally put it right, on enamelled baths, acrylic baths and resurfaced baths alike.
Most of the baths and shower trays we see in a town like Waltham Abbey are in family bathrooms that get daily use, where chips and wear build up over the years. A repair or resurface avoids a refit.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Waltham Abbey as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Common problems we fix in Waltham Abbey
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
People normally call us when they notice one of these:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
In the older streets of Waltham Abbey, around landmarks like Waltham Abbey Church, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and non-slip bath coating gives it years more use.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
How it works
There is not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll get on with it. Most visits take a morning or an afternoon. Around Waltham Abbey, parking is usually easy, so arranging the visit is straightforward. Just mention if the bath or shower tray is upstairs or in a flat.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.
How to prepare

Related advice
Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. In a town like Waltham Abbey, a replacement may not match the rest of the room, while a repair keeps everything as it is.
A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.

Common questions in Waltham Abbey
Is it worth repairing old baths and shower trays in a period home in Waltham Abbey?
Usually, yes. Older baths and shower trays are often worth repairing rather than replacing. Photos let us tell you what we would recommend.
I let a flat near Waltham Cross station. Can you help between tenants?
Of course: pictures and an address are all we need for a price, and we can arrange access with the tenant if that helps.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.
Can pets and children be at home?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Is there any odour?
There can be some smell while we work, so we ventilate the room. It clears as the materials cure.

What else we do in Waltham Abbey
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
When a repair is not the answer
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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Waltham Abbey
