How we handle non-slip bath coating in Walthew Green
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, in wet room floors (ask us), enamelled baths and acrylic baths.
Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY kit or professional repair?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We remove the old filler and start again, so it won’t stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
For landlords and businesses
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Walthew Green as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
If you manage property in Walthew Green, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send pictures for each address and we’ll price them together.
Repairing versus replacing in Walthew Green
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Some jobs are not right for a repair, including:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.

How we price non-slip bath coating
Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The size and number of damaged areas
Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Send pictures for a quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A picture taken from further back
- Where you are, by postcode
If you’re in Walthew Green and want a price, the easiest route is pictures: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
Your technician turns up when we said we would and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
