Non-slip bath coating in Hockley, done in place

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. Our repair technicians work on resurfaced baths, shower trays and acrylic baths, and common reasons people get in touch are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

The work is covered for a year after we finish. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we will come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Honest limits

Honesty matters more than a booking, so here’s what a repair cannot fix:

  • 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 photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

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

Repair or replace in Hockley?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Hockley. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • No extra charge for your area
  • Dust sheets down, tidy finish
  • Fixed prices from your pictures
  • Most jobs done in one visit

The process

Visits start with a quick look at the job together. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. Allow a few hours.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, generally overnight.

Preparing for the visit

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep a parking space free if you can
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Getting a price

Call 0345 017 0787 or use 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.

Landlord and trade work in Hockley

We’re used to working with agents and managing companies. Send the address, pictures and access details and we’ll arrange it.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Hockley as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send photos.

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 non-slip bath coating costs

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • How much damage there is
  • The material and finish
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The type of damage

A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you will get a fixed figure.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Try to send:

  • Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
  • A picture taken from further back
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

To get a price, send a couple of pictures using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

Common questions in Hockley

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Hockley?

Every job gets a fixed price based on pictures of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo and your postcode.

How quickly can you book me in?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
