Non-slip bath coating at your home in Frinton-on-Sea
It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Frinton-on-Sea as everywhere else we work. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
Why repair rather than replace?
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 adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

FAQs for Frinton-on-Sea
Which areas do you work in?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.
Is repairing better than replacing?
In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.
Are there extra charges for Frinton-on-Sea?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
What happens once I’ve sent photos?
You get a fixed price and available dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Does someone need to be in?
We need someone to let us in. After that, you can carry on with your day.
What non-slip bath coating costs
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material and finish
- Whether we combine several jobs
- Unusual colours or finishes
- How many areas need work
What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed price from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
Getting a price from photos
Phone pictures are fine. Ensure they show:
- A photo taken from further back
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- One sharp close-up of the damage
- The material, if you know it
A quote takes minutes to ask for: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
How it works
Your technician turns up at the time we agreed with you and looks over the damage before anything else. Dust sheets and masking tape go down before any work starts. The work itself takes a morning or an afternoon, and we leave the room as we found it.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure the area is dry
- Let us know if it has been repaired before
- Open a window if you can
