Non-slip bath coating at your home in Great Horkesley

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on resurfaced baths, wet room floors (ask us) and acrylic baths, and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

Every job is backed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How we price non-slip bath coating

You will not pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • What the surface is made of
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Getting a price from photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

If you’re in Great Horkesley and want a price, pictures are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. We do not add extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.

Why book with us

  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Choosing a repair company

What happens on the day

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, then carry out the work, which normally takes a few hours. If we find something your photos didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Make sure the area is dry
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

When we’d advise against a repair

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair can’t fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.

What we work on

  • Acrylic baths
  • Enamelled baths
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Shower trays
  • Wet room floors (ask us)

For landlords and businesses

We are used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, photos and access details and we’ll handle the rest.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.
