About our non-slip bath coating in Chipping Ongar
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths alike.
We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.
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 then the old filler has to be removed first.
Prices and what affects them
There’s no area surcharge for Chipping Ongar. What changes the price is:
- How hard the colour is to match
- How many items we do on one visit
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What kind of damage it is
A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send pictures and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage. Try to send:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can give you a fixed quote without visiting.

FAQs for Chipping Ongar
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Is there a call-out fee?
There’s no separate call-out charge. Your fixed price includes everything.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

Common problems we fix in Chipping Ongar
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Worn-out textured areas

For landlords and businesses
Letting agents often send us photos straight from the inventory. You can have a price before you arrange access, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. A repair between tenancies is a cheaper way to keep the property in good order.
What happens on the day
When we visit, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, typically overnight.
How to prepare
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Open a window if you can
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send two or three pictures using our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.
