Non-slip bath coating at your home in West Wickham
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in shower trays, enamelled baths and wet room floors (ask us).
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in West Wickham as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

West Wickham: your questions answered
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, we only need access to the room.
Do you come to West Wickham?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to West Wickham and the rest of Greater London. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in West Wickham?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your pictures. Send a close-up and a picture of the entire item with your BR4 postcode.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in West Wickham.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Doing several items on one visit generally costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.
I rent my home. Can I book you?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Doing more than one item at once
We don’t add extras on the day. What we quote from your photos is what you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.
For landlords and businesses
We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Just send pictures, the address and how to get access.
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
What we do, step by step
There’s not much you need to do on the day. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we will take it from there. Most visits take a few hours, tidy-up included.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Ensure the room can be ventilated
Ask for a price
We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.
