How we handle non-slip bath coating in Howlett End
It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, whatever the material.
You are covered for a year from the day of the repair. Just call us if there’s a problem and we will come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Howlett End. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What affects the price in Howlett End
Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:
- What kind of damage it is
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Doing more than one item at once
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
Set against the cost of replacement, a repair is generally a fraction of the price, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
How to get a fixed quote
Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them to us. What comes back is a fixed quote, not a guess.
Common problems we fix in Howlett End
Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
Send us a photo if you notice any of these:
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
What to look for in a quote

FAQs for Howlett End
I rent my home. Can I book you?
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.
What areas do you cover?
Everywhere in the UK, Howlett End included. Travel is included in the price.
Do I need to be at home?
Yes. The technician needs access to the room for the visit, at a time that suits you.
Will you leave a mess?
We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.
Do you cover Howlett End?
Yes. We work across the UK and come to Howlett End and the rest of Essex. Send photos and we will quote, or call 0345 017 0787.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you price it without visiting?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
When can you do it?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
What we can’t put right
We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t 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
If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

DIY kit or professional repair?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.
