About our non-slip bath coating in Bures

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What affects the price in Bures

We price every job individually. What matters most is:

  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Bures. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

Quotes from your pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • The material, if you know it
  • A photo taken from further back
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before

To get a price, send two or three pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Bures

Do you do work for letting agents?

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

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send photos with your postcode and we’ll reply with the earliest dates.

Does someone need to be in?

Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.

Do you hold any accreditations?

Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Are there extra charges for Bures?

There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.

Which areas do you work in?

The entire UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will confirm dates.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, so the repair isn’t disturbed while it cures.

Honest limits

A repair is not right for every job, including:

  • 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’ll say what we think.

Surfaces we repair

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

Common problems we fix in Bures

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.

Get in touch if you’ve noticed:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Questions to ask before you book

  • What happens if they find more damage
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges
  • What aftercare is recommended
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

How to compare quotes

DIY kit or professional repair?

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Ask for a price
