Non-slip bath coating in North Shoebury without replacing anything
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and enamelled baths alike.
All our work comes with a one-year guarantee. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY kit or professional repair?
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler often lifts.
If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it won’t stop us repairing it. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, 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: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.

We’d rather lose a job than do one that won’t last, so here’s what a repair can’t put right:
- Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
- Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
- Outdoor surfaces
