Bocking's Elm: your questions answered

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

What happens after I send photos?

We review the pictures and send a fixed quote.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed quote.

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Is it safe with children and pets around?

On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Bocking's Elm?

Because every job differs, we price from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Non-slip bath coating in Bocking's Elm, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, 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. Our technicians work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repairing versus replacing in Bocking's Elm

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Bocking's Elm. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What you get with us

  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing
  • No need to remove anything
  • One price list for the entire UK

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Bocking's Elm?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

You may need us if you’ve spotted:

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

Questions to ask before you book

  • What protection goes down before work starts
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Who turns up on the day

How to compare quotes

How it works

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we have agreed what we’re doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings

Work for landlords and builders

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Bocking's Elm use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it costs much less than replacing.

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that is fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

Honest limits

A few problems are outside what a surface repair can do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What we work on

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

Prices and what affects them

Each job gets its own fixed price. These are the things that affect it:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How many areas need work

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. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Natural light rather than flash

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 send back a fixed quote and some dates.
