How we handle non-slip bath coating in Great Tey

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Great Tey and across Essex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Can I fix it myself?

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. 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.

How it works

On the day itself, there is little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Getting a price

We price from pictures so you don’t have to wait in for a survey. Send them through the quote form, or call 0345 017 0787 if you’d rather talk it through.

When we would advise against a repair

We’ll always be straight with you, so here’s what a repair will not do:

  • 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 booking.

Materials we repair

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

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

Why us?

  • No extra charge for your area
  • One-year guarantee on every repair
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited
  • Free fixed quotes from pictures

Common questions in Great Tey

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

Do you charge for travel?

We don’t add a call-out fee. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you price it without visiting?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Prices and what affects them

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • What kind of damage it is

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.

How to get a fixed quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • Something in shot to show the size
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll come back to you with a fixed figure.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Great Tey?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

If you can see any of these, send us a picture:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What to look for in a quote

  • What aftercare is recommended
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • Who will actually do the work
  • Whether the price covers travel

Our hiring checklist

Landlord and trade work in Great Tey

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Great Tey use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.
