About our non-slip bath coating in Downham
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Our technicians work on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Downham and across Essex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Repair or replace in Downham?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send photos and you will get a fixed figure.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Downham
Does someone need to be in?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
How do I book?
Send pictures through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.
Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?
In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We will be honest if it’s not worth it.
Is there a guarantee?
Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
On the day, the room should be kept clear of pets and children.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Just add the extra items to your photos and we will quote them together.
Prices and what affects them
There is no area surcharge for Downham. What changes the price is:
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- What the surface is made of
- The type of damage
A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.
Send photos for a quote
Two or three clear photos are usually enough. Try to include:
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Where you are, by postcode
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
For a price in Downham, photos are the quickest way: one close up, one from further back, plus your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
What happens on the day
Once we’re through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the work takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish with a tidy-up and a look at the finished work together.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Point us to the nearest place to park
- Let us know about parking or access
- Plan for the room to be out of bounds to pets and children
Ask for a price
Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you are under no obligation.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it fails, we can still put it right.
