Non-slip bath coating in Canvey Island without replacing anything
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and shower trays, and common reasons people get in touch are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When to call us in Canvey Island
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.
If you can see any of these, send us a photo:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Canvey Island questions
Can landlords book you?
Yes, often. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
What happens if you find more damage?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
In most cases. The old repair comes out first.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Of course. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.
Is it safe with children and pets around?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Which areas do you work in?
Across the UK, so Canvey Island is covered. Prices don’t change with location.
Work for landlords and builders
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets need rooms back in use quickly, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually, from your pictures. What matters most is:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The size and number of damaged areas
- The material and finish
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from photos
Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- Where you are, by postcode
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
What happens on the day
A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, do the job and clear up. Plan for a few hours from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.
Before we arrive
- Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
- Have a window or extractor fan available
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift

Repair or replace: which is better?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. What it costs 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 you book.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is generally cheaper.
When a repair is not the answer
Before you book, it’s worth knowing the limits too:
- 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 pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
