How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed quote from photos. These are the things that affect it:
- How many areas need work
- How easy the damage is to reach
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- Details of any past repairs
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will say right away whether it can be repaired.
When to call us in Chignall Smealy
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.
Most people get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas
For older houses around Chignall Smealy, near landmarks such as Church of St Nicholas, an original cast iron or steel bath is worth keeping, and non-slip bath coating gives it years more use.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Repair or replace in Chignall Smealy?
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. For a rural home like those around Chignall Smealy, a replacement means trades travelling out and waste being taken away, while a repair is a single visit.
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

FAQs for Chignall Smealy
My house in Chignall Smealy is a period property. Is the original worth keeping?
Usually: original pieces are often better made and harder to replace. Send photos and we’ll advise.
I let a flat near Chelmsford station. Can you help between tenants?
Yes, we frequently work between tenancies, and we can quote for several properties together.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Is a repair better than a new one?
Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.
Is there a call-out fee?
Travel is included in the price, with the same prices everywhere we work.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the pictures cannot show what we need.
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
When we would advise against a repair
It helps to know what we can’t 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.
