Non-slip bath coating in North Benfleet, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on enamelled baths, shower trays and resurfaced baths, and people most often call us about bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in North Benfleet and across Essex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Before and after: an old shower tray refinished by Surface Doctor

DIY kit or professional repair?

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, and the work is guaranteed.

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair won’t last.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in North Benfleet?

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

Customers generally contact us about:

  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth

What your quote should include

  • Whether the price covers travel
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What the guarantee covers, and for how long
  • Whether the price is fixed and includes VAT

10 questions to ask before you book

North Benfleet questions

Do you cover the entire of Essex?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Just include your postcode and we will offer you dates.

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.

How do I book?

Send photos through the quote form or call 0345 017 0787.

Can you repair something that is been repaired before?

Yes, regularly. Removing the old work can add time, and that is in the quote.

How much does non-slip bath coating cost in North Benfleet?

Because every job differs, we price from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

Can tenants book a repair?

Yes. Ask your landlord first, and we can send them the quote if that helps.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. If replacing would be better, we’ll say so.

Is the work guaranteed?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Prices are worked out job by job, from your pictures. What matters most is:

  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • The material
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • Whether we combine several jobs

Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

Send photos for a quote

Almost every job we do is priced from pictures. This is what to send:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • What it’s made of, if you know

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote.

How it works

There is not much you need to do on the day. Let us in and show us the room, and we’ll take it from there. The job generally runs to a few hours, tidy-up included.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Getting a price

Email us a picture of the damage and one of the whole item, and tell us you are in North Benfleet, and we will come back with a fixed quote.

Landlord and trade work in North Benfleet

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover. Several plots can be done in one visit.

For anyone letting property in or around North Benfleet, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send pictures for each one and we will come back with a combined price.

Why repair rather than replace?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, so there’s no premium for North Benfleet. What changes the price is the job itself: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.
