How we handle non-slip bath coating in Fordstreet
It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. We regularly repair resurfaced baths, enamelled baths and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee in Fordstreet and across Essex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works
Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a few hours, and we will keep you posted as we go.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, generally overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
- Let us know about parking or access
- Keep a parking space free if you can

Landlords, agents and businesses in Fordstreet
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there is no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. We can visit several plots in one trip.
DIY kit or professional repair?
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, ensure the area is clean and completely dry, and do not use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
How we price non-slip bath coating
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- How easy the damage is to reach
- How much damage there is
- How hard the colour is to match
- The material and finish
Rather than charging by the hour, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access.
How to get a fixed price
Phone photos are fine. Just make sure we can see:
- Your postcode, so we can check dates
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Honest limits
We would rather lose a job than do one that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Shower trays
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many jobs we combine into one visit. We give a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
