Non-slip bath coating at your home in Crays Hill
It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can help, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths alike.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
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.
Crays Hill questions
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Are there extra charges for Crays Hill?
There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Are you a vetted contractor?
Yes, including CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. The full list is on our accreditations page.

Of course, and it generally saves money. Just add the extra items to your pictures and you’ll get one combined price.
How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Crays Hill?
Every job gets a fixed quote from your photos. Send a close-up and a photo of the whole item with your CM11 postcode.
Can I get a quote without a visit?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed quote and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.
How the visit works
We agree an arrival time beforehand. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon in most cases. We leave the room clean and you will know when it can be used.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.
How to prepare
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know which floor the room is on
Getting a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We will say immediately whether it can be repaired.

Work for landlords and builders
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Crays Hill use us as well as homeowners. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it costs much less than replacing.
Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.
What non-slip bath coating costs
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- The size and number of damaged areas
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What kind of damage it is
Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Quotes from your pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- The material, if you know it
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through, and you’ll get a fixed figure back.

Repair or replace in Crays Hill?
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 treats your existing bath or tray. A repair typically costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.
