About our non-slip bath coating in Hainault

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. We work on shower trays, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us), and people most often call us about worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

All of our repairs are guaranteed for twelve months. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Hainault

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Keep an eye out for these signs:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Safety for older or less mobile people

How to compare quotes

For landlords and businesses

Housing associations and facilities teams use us for planned and reactive repairs in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

Repairing versus replacing in Hainault

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. You get a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Why us?

  • One price list for the whole UK
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK

See our full price list.

What affects the price in Hainault

We do not charge extra for travel to Hainault. The price comes down to:

  • The material and finish
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How much damage there is
  • The colour and finish to match

The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.

How to get a fixed quote

Phone pictures are fine, there is no need for anything special. Ensure they show:

  • A picture taken from further back
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • Details of any past repairs

Ring 0345 017 0787, or send us photos through the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the whole bath or shower tray, we can price the job without visiting.

When we would advise against a repair

Some jobs aren’t right for a repair, including:

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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

DIY kit or professional repair?

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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

How it works

A typical visit goes like this: we arrive at the agreed slot, protect everything around the work area, do the job and clear up. Plan for a morning or an afternoon. Before we go, we’ll explain when it can be used and what to avoid for the first few days.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

How to prepare

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Have somewhere for us to park nearby if possible
  • Open a window if you can

Ask for 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, and you will get a fixed figure back.

Hainault questions

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit typically costs less than separate visits. Send pictures of everything you’d like done.

Is there a guarantee?

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

Do you cover Hainault?

We do. We send a technician to Hainault for every job, with no extra charge for travel.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We look at the photos and reply with a fixed quote and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we will ask for another photo.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Do I need to be at home?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we leave the room clean.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.
