Non-slip bath coating at your home in Kelvedon Hatch

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. We are frequently asked to fix bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, across acrylic baths, enamelled baths and shower trays.

A one-year guarantee comes as standard, so you’re not left on your own once we’ve gone. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlord and trade work in Kelvedon Hatch

Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There’s no charge for travel to Kelvedon Hatch. The price depends on:

  • What kind of damage it is
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • The colour and finish to match
  • How many areas need work

What it costs depends on how much damage there is and what kind, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Quotes from your photos

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • A wider photo showing the whole bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

You do not need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Kelvedon Hatch

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Look out for any of the following:

  • 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 your quote should include

  • How to care for the finish
  • What preparation is included
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the pictures show
  • Whether they match the colour on site

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY repairs versus a professional job

If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

What happens on the day

Nothing needs to be moved out of the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. It typically takes a morning or an afternoon, and you are welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

Ask for a price

The quickest way to a price is to send two or three photos using our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Advice

When we would advise against a repair

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

Not sure? Send pictures and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Kelvedon Hatch: your questions answered

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

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Is it worth repairing rather than replacing?

Generally, when the rest is in good condition. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Is my repair covered?

Yes: twelve months. If there is a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll offer you dates.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Yes, as long as they stay out of the room we are working in. We’ll tell you when the room can be used again.

Are there extra charges for Kelvedon Hatch?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Will it make a mess?

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