Non-slip bath coating near Wapping

Non-slip bath coating in Wapping without replacing anything

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and enamelled baths alike.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Wapping

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Contact us if you’ve noticed any of these:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Wapping. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A fixed quote before booking
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited

The process

We work cleanly and quietly. Protection goes down first, then the work takes a few hours. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Related advice

For landlords and businesses

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.

What a repair cannot fix

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

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

Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Materials we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:

  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it.

Quotes from your photos

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • Details of any past repairs
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

For most jobs, photos are all we need to give you a price. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed quote and the earliest dates we have.

Wapping: your questions answered

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Normally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Do you cover the whole of Greater London?

All of Greater London, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.

Are you a vetted contractor?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Is there any odour?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

How do I book?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Do you come to Wapping?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Wapping. Send pictures and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.
