- Safety for older or less mobile people
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.
Non-slip bath coating in Essendine, done in place
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Typical jobs include safety for older or less mobile people and worn-out textured areas, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths.
Whatever the size of the job, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Essendine and across Lincolnshire. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. There are no surprise extras on the day. The price we quote from your photos is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
