About our non-slip bath coating in Heybridge Basin
It’s a clear, textured coating, 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. Our technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and shower trays, and common reasons people contact us are resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and safety for older or less mobile people.
Big or small, it’s backed by a one-year guarantee. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Landlord and trade work in Heybridge Basin
Hospitality businesses cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We’ll fit around changeovers where we can.
Rental properties take more wear, and replacing items every time a tenant leaves is expensive. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

Heybridge Basin: your questions answered
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners in Heybridge Basin.
Do you hold any accreditations?
We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Heybridge Basin?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
What happens after I send pictures?
We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote.
Can you quote from pictures?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Will it make a mess?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
How soon can you come?
We will give you dates with your quote. Tell us if you need it done quickly.
Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What we can’t put right
We won’t take on work that will not last, so these are the limits:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer.
Surfaces we repair
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Shower trays
Prices and what affects them
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- The material and finish
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
- How hard the colour is to match
Instead of hourly rates, we price the whole job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and combining items on one visit brings it down.
Send photos for a quote
Most quotes are done from photos alone. To help us price it:
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
- What it’s made of, if you know
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job without visiting.
Repairing versus replacing in Heybridge Basin
Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. What’s damaged, how badly and how easy it is to reach all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

- We will tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Can I fix it myself?
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
