Questions from Almshouse Green
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
In most cases. We remove the old repair before doing a new one.
Will the price change on the day?
The price is fixed for what the photos show. If there’s more, we will tell you before starting.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
What areas do you cover?
The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will offer you dates.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Non-slip bath coating at your home in Almshouse Green
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include worn-out textured areas and safety for older or less mobile people, on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths.
Big or small, you get the same one-year guarantee in Almshouse Green and across Essex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We do not add 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.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.

When a repair is not the answer
We will not take on work that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t 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
Send us photos and we will tell you honestly.

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which matters when someone is living in the home.
How the visit works
It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which generally takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
How to prepare

- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park

What affects the price in Almshouse Green
You will know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The type of damage
- The material and finish
- Doing more than one item at once
- How much damage there is
Compared with replacing, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Send photos for a quote
A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. Try to include:
- A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- Any details about the material
- Natural light rather than flash
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
