Non-slip bath coating near Puttock's End

Non-slip bath coating in Puttock's End, done in place

It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. If you are dealing with resurfaced baths that are now too smooth and worn-out textured areas, we can typically put it right.

Every repair comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How it works

You do not need to empty the room beforehand. We bring everything we need with us, lay protective sheets and get going once we have agreed what we are doing. It usually 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. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

How to prepare

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Let us know if it has been repaired before

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Puttock's End

What happens after I send photos?

We come back with a fixed price, typically with dates to choose from. You’re under no obligation.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit normally costs less than separate visits. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

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

Only slightly: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Tell us what was done before.

Do you come to Puttock's End?

Yes. We cover the entire UK and travel to Puttock's End. Send photos and we’ll quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Is repairing better than replacing?

Normally, if the item is otherwise sound. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

Prices and what affects them

We don’t charge extra for travel to Puttock's End. The price comes down to:

  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
  • The material and finish
  • Doing more than one item at once
  • The size and number of damaged areas

Every job is a little different, so each one is priced on its own. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

How to get a fixed price

You can typically get a fixed quote without us visiting. To help us price it:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The material, if you know it
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: take one close-up and one wider shot of the bath or shower tray, add your postcode and send them over. You’ll get a fixed quote, not an estimate.

We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Puttock's End. What changes the price is the job itself: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, a professional repair is worth it.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and then the old filler has to be removed first.
