Non-slip bath coating in Great Sampford without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and acrylic baths.
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit typically runs: we arrive at the agreed slot, sheet and mask the area around the job, carry out the work and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- We leave it to cure, usually overnight.

FAQs for Great Sampford
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are often glad to have it sorted.
Is my repair covered?
All our work carries our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. If pictures do not show enough, we will ask for another angle.
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help, and it soon fades.
Will you leave a mess?
Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Of course, and it typically saves money. Just add the extra items to your photos and you will get one combined price.
It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?
Usually, yes. We remove the old repair before doing a new one, so let us know about it.
Do you come to Great Sampford?
Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Great Sampford and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is typically the cheaper route.
Landlords, agents and businesses in Great Sampford
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Sampford as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, putting right damage done during fitting. We’re CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited.
Prices and what affects them
Every quote is fixed and free. What we take into account:
- The type of damage
- How hard the colour is to match
- What the surface is made of
- How many items we do on one visit
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all make a difference, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.
Getting a price from pictures
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Details of any past repairs
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of pictures using our quote form or ring us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.
Should you replace it?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Instead of hourly rates, we fix the price before we start. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
