Non-slip bath coating in Chappel without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Chappel and across Essex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Chappel
We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting so nothing needs replacing. We are CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.
Common problems we fix in Chappel
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.
Look out for these signs:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
What to look for in a quote
- How soon you can use it again
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
- What happens if they find more damage
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- The material
- How hard the colour is to match
There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, and if the damage turns out to be different, we discuss it before starting.
Quotes from your photos
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what we find most useful:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Something in shot to show the size
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the whole bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
Common questions in Chappel
Is repairing better than replacing?
Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Do you cover the whole of Essex?
We cover the entire UK, including Chappel and the rest of Essex. Just include your postcode and we’ll offer you dates.
What happens if you find more damage?
We stop, show you and agree any change before carrying on. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
Do I have to be there?
Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
How do I book?
A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
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.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

When we would advise against a repair
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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Enamelled baths
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Chappel. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
Why book with us
- CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
- One-year guarantee on every repair
- Same prices wherever you are
- Nothing taken out or refitted
