Non-slip bath coating in Great Totham

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with nothing added on the day.

Why Great Totham customers choose us

  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • One visit for most repairs
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • One price list for the entire UK

Non-slip bath coating in Great Totham, done in place

The coating is clear and textured, 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. If you’re dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and worn-out textured areas, we can help, on acrylic baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths alike.

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

Questions from Great Totham

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is the work guaranteed?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do I need to be at home?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

Can landlords book you?

Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

Is a repair better than a new one?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you quote from pictures?

Usually, yes. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we will offer you dates.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

What we do, step by step

We agree an arrival time beforehand, so you are not left guessing. On site, it takes a few hours in most cases. The room is left tidy and you’ll know when it can be used.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area

Getting a price

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from photos: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Related advice

When to call us in Great Totham

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

Look out for any of the following:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

Before you book anyone

  • How long it needs to cure
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • How changes to the job are handled
  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • Access to the area
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material and finish

Instead of hourly rates, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Getting a price from pictures

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • The material, if you know it
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Something in shot to show the size

A quote takes minutes to ask for: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed price, not an estimate.

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

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, then guarantee it for a year.

What we cannot put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 will tell you honestly before you book.

Materials we repair

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