How we handle non-slip bath coating in Great Notley
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

FAQs for Great Notley
How do I clean it?
Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work. The rest of the house is unaffected.
Do the materials smell?
There can be some smell while we work. It fades as everything cures.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Get your landlord’s agreement first.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, frequently. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How soon can you come?
That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.
Is there a call-out fee?
There is no separate call-out charge. Your fixed quote includes everything.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Advice
Prices and what affects them
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- The material
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How much damage there is
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
Getting a price from pictures
You can take the photos on your phone, there is no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- A photo taken from further back
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
If you are in Great Notley and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. You’ll get a fixed quote with dates to choose from.

- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Shower trays
Should I try a DIY kit first?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
