Non-slip bath coating at your home in Barling
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, in shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
We guarantee the work for a year. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

The process
Visits start with a quick look at the job together. After that, protection goes down around the work area and the work begins. Allow a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
- Make sure the room can be ventilated
- Keep a parking space free if you can
Getting a price
Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. There’s no charge for the quote and you are under no obligation.

Questions from Barling
Do you cover the whole of Southend-on-Sea?
Everywhere in the UK, Barling included. Travel is included in the price.
Can you repair several things at once?
Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Include pictures of each item.
What do you need from me?
Use the quote form or ring 0345 017 0787.
Do I have to be there?
We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.
Do you do work for letting agents?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as householders.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Will the price change on the day?
Your quote covers the damage in the pictures. If there is more, we will tell you before starting.
Do you need non-slip bath coating in Barling?
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
These are the problems we’re asked about most:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Should I try a DIY kit first?
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
For landlords and businesses
We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we will arrange it.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Something in shot to show the size
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us pictures through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can give you a fixed price without visiting.

What a repair can’t fix
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not 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
Not sure? Send photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Materials we work on in Barling
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Shower trays
- Acrylic baths
Why repair rather than replace?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: 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.
