What non-slip bath coating costs

A fixed quote means you know the cost before booking. We look at:

  • The type of damage
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Doing more than one item at once

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because there’s no removal, plumbing or making good. The quote lists exactly what you’re paying for.

Send photos for a quote

When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • The material, if you know it
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

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. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

Non-slip bath coating in Halstead, 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. Whether it’s resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help.

A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common problems we fix in Halstead

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

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

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • A fixed price, and whether VAT is included
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • If travel is included in the price

10 questions to ask before you book

For landlords and businesses

Rented homes see more wear and tear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

If you manage property in Halstead, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we will price them together.

Halstead questions

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, with the same prices everywhere we work.

How do I clean it?

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

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

Across the UK, so Halstead is covered. Our prices are the same everywhere.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Do you work in Halstead?

Yes, we do. Technicians travel to Halstead from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. You don’t need to watch us work.

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.

Are you accredited?

Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.

What we cannot put right

Some jobs are not right for a repair, for example:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Halstead

How it works

Once we are through the door, the aim is to do the job without disturbing the rest of your home. We mask off everything nearby, the job takes a morning or an afternoon, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Ensure the room can be ventilated

Repair or replace in Halstead?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send photos and we will give you the exact figure.

What you get with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Fixed prices from your photos
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place

See our pricing.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.
