About our non-slip bath coating in Clavering
It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, on acrylic baths, wet room floors (ask us) and shower trays.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Clavering as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)

- Outdoor surfaces
If in doubt, send pictures and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Landlord and trade work in Clavering
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out pictures. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.
What we do, step by step
You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and start once you are happy with the plan. It generally takes a morning or an afternoon, and you can get on with other things while we’re there.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Let the surface dry out before the visit
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price

DIY repairs versus a professional job
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
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, and the work is guaranteed.
Common problems we fix in Clavering
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Most people contact us when they notice one of these:
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Worn-out textured areas

Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Clavering questions
Will there be a smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It clears as the materials cure.
What if the damage is worse than the pictures show?
It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. You decide whether to go ahead.
Can pets and children be at home?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day, mainly so nothing gets touched before it has cured.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you charge for travel?
Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.
Will it make a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
When can you do it?
We’ll give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Prices and what affects them
We price every job individually, from your pictures. The main factors are:
- How much damage there is
- Whether we combine several jobs
- The type of damage
- The material
A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
Getting a price from pictures
Phone photos are fine. Make sure they show:
- Details of any past repairs
- A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
If you are in Clavering and want a price, the easiest route is photos: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
