How we handle non-slip bath coating in Hullbridge

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. Common call-outs are for a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and safety for older or less mobile people, in resurfaced baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us).

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are covered after the visit. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Prices and what affects them

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • The type of damage
  • What the surface is made of

A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Send pictures and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

Phone photos are fine, there is no need for anything special. Make sure they show:

  • Any details about the material
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Details of any past repairs

Most customers in Hullbridge get their price from pictures. Add a line about what happened and your postcode, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.

What we do, step by step

The work is clean and fairly quiet. Protection goes down first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain the curing time and the aftercare.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

How to prepare

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before
  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Hullbridge: your questions answered

What information do you need?

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

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. We’ll be honest if it’s not worth it.

Do the materials smell?

A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.

Do I have to be there?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

What does non-slip bath coating cost?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You’ll get a fixed figure before booking.

Are there extra charges for Hullbridge?

Travel is included in the price, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Should I try a DIY kit first?

A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
