How we handle non-slip bath coating in Little Wakering

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most frequently call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

You’re covered for a year from the day of the repair. If anything isn’t right, ring us and we’ll come back. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Our hiring checklist

What non-slip bath coating costs

Quotes are free and the price is fixed. What we look at:

  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • The material
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Our prices are the same across the UK, with no extra for Little Wakering. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Send photos for a quote

Two or three clear photos are typically enough. Try to include:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed price back. There is no charge for the quote and no obligation.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. It depends on the damage, the material and access, and doing several items at once reduces it.

What you get with us

  • Nothing taken out or refitted
  • Honest advice, even when it means no job
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accredited

DIY kit or professional repair?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, then guarantee it for a year.

For landlords and businesses

Letting agents often send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

Builders, developers and site managers book us for snagging repairs, fixing chips and scratches before handover so nothing needs replacing. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

What we can’t put right

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

  • 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 pictures and we will say what we think.

What we work on

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

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Little Wakering

I rent my home. Can I book you?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Are there extra charges for Little Wakering?

We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.

Will there be a smell?

There may be a mild smell during the work.

Will I see the coating?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We come back with a fixed quote, normally with dates to choose from. There’s no obligation to book.

Do you cover the entire of Southend-on-Sea?

All of Southend-on-Sea, and the rest of the UK. There’s no extra charge for travel.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

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

Can pets and children be at home?

We ask you to keep children and pets out of the room while we work and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

The process

On the day, we arrive at the time we have agreed, cover the area with dust sheets and masking, and set to work. The job generally takes a few hours. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

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

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access
  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
