Non-slip bath coating in Matching Tye without replacing anything
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. We’re often asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and wet room floors (ask us).
A one-year guarantee comes with the work, just as it does everywhere we cover. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Matching Tye: your questions answered
Will there be a smell?
It depends on the job, but often a little. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
Which areas do you work in?
We work UK-wide. Prices do not change with location.
Do you cover Matching Tye?
Yes, we do. We send a technician to Matching Tye for every job, with no extra charge for travel.
Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What do you need from me?
Some pictures, your postcode and how to reach you. On the day, access to the room.
Is repairing better than replacing?
Usually, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Are there extra charges for Matching Tye?
We do not add a call-out fee. The fixed price covers the visit and the work.
How soon can you come?
It depends on the time of year and where you are. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.
Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Matching Tye
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Safety for older or less mobile people

For landlords and businesses
Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Matching Tye use us as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it generally costs far less than a refit.
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 matters when someone is living in the home.
What affects the price in Matching Tye
We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
- What the surface is made of
- How many areas need work
Every job is a little different, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all make a difference, and combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down.
How to get a fixed quote
Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
- One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
- The material, if you know it
For most jobs, pictures are all we need to give you a price. Tell us what happened and where you are, and we will send back a fixed quote and some dates.
Should I try a DIY kit first?
We understand the appeal of fixing it 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.
It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but the repairs we redo most frequently are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.
Repairing versus replacing in Matching Tye
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. 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’ll get a fixed figure.

How the visit works
We begin by going over the job with you, so there are no surprises. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and the work begins. It normally takes a morning or an afternoon, and we will tell you if anything changes.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
How to prepare
- Make sure the area is dry
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
Ask for a price
You don’t need a survey visit. Nearly every job can be priced from pictures: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.
