Non-slip bath & shower coating in Brightlingsea, Essex

- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
About our non-slip bath coating in Brightlingsea
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.
What we cannot put right
Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:
- 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 pictures and we will say what we think.
Materials we repair
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
Brightlingsea: your questions answered
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Yes, almost always. Clear pictures let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Yes, we often do. It can add a little time, which we include in the quote.
What happens if you find more damage?
The price is fixed for what the pictures show. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.
Is my repair covered?
Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What happens next?
You will get a fixed quote back, typically with dates to choose from. There is no obligation to book.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What affects the price in Brightlingsea
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The colour and finish to match
- What kind of damage it is
- How many areas need work
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Quotes from your photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
- Details of any past repairs
For a price in Brightlingsea, the easiest route is pictures: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You will get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.
How the visit works
From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Before we arrive
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
- Open a window if you can

The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before booking.
