Non-slip bath coating for Corringham homes

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

About our non-slip bath coating in Corringham

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on acrylic baths, enamelled baths and resurfaced baths, and the jobs we see most are bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people.

We guarantee the work for a year. If there’s a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What we are called out for in Corringham

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re 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.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • When it can be used again

How to compare quotes

What we do, step by step

From the moment we arrive, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the work takes a morning or an afternoon, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price reflects the work involved, not your postcode. You will see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Rooms protected and left tidy
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Work done at your home or business

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • Unusual colours or finishes

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so there are no surprises on the day.

How to get a fixed quote

You can take the photos on your phone. Just ensure we can see:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

When a repair is not the answer

It helps to know what we cannot 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

Materials we repair

  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
