  • Outdoor surfaces

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Harwich

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. Typical jobs include resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, in acrylic baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays.

You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Harwich as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Harwich?

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.

The most common problems we are called about are:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Choosing a repair company

Can I fix it myself?

It’s natural to want to try a repair 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.

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, make sure the area is clean and completely dry, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Prices and what affects them

We charge the same across the UK, including Harwich. The price reflects:

  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from photos

We price nearly every job from photos. This is what we need:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • 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, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.

For landlords and businesses

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Harwich as well as homeowners. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it usually costs far less than a refit.

Harwich: your questions answered

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Will it make a mess?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and we clean up when we’ve finished.

Can tenants book a repair?

We can work for tenants, landlords or agents. Just ensure the landlord agrees.

Do you cover Harwich?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and travel to Harwich and the rest of Essex. Send pictures and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

When can you do it?

That depends on our diary for your area. We’ll offer you dates when we send your quote.

Is there any odour?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum.

What do you need from me?

Photos of the damage, a photo of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, cover and mask the work area, and get on with the job, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Clear the area around the damage
  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access

Ask for a price

We price from pictures so you do not have to wait in for a survey. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and we’ll come back with a fixed figure.

Related advice

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price reflects the work involved, not where you live. You’ll see the full price before you book, with nothing added on the day.
