Need non-slip bath coating in Rettendon?

Should I try a DIY kit first?

What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. 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.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.

About our non-slip bath coating in Rettendon

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We’re often asked to fix a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, in wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

All our work comes with a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Should you replace it?

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. You will see the full price before you book, with no extras added later.

Why us?

  • No need to remove anything
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Most jobs done in one visit
  • Every repair guaranteed for a year

Rettendon: your questions answered

Is the work guaranteed?

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

Do you work in Rettendon?

We do. Repair technicians travel to Rettendon from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Is it OK to have pets in the house?

Just keep them out of the work area. We will let you know when it’s safe to use again.

Do I have to be there?

Will I see the coating?

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

Is there a call-out fee?

There’s no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

Can you quote from pictures?

Yes, almost always. Clear photos let us give you a fixed quote without visiting.

Will the price change on the day?

If we find something the photos didn’t show, we explain it first. The price only changes if you agree.

When to call us in Rettendon

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

The most common problems we’re called about are:

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

Questions to ask before booking

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • What prep work is covered
  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Is the price fixed, and does it include VAT?

Work for landlords and builders

We also carry out snagging repairs for builders and developers, putting right damage done during fitting. We hold CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor accreditations.

Landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Rettendon use us as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it generally costs far less than a refit.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no area surcharge for Rettendon. The price reflects:

  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • How many areas need work
  • The colour and finish to match
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

The price depends on how much damage there is and what kind, what it’s made of and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.

Getting a price from photos

A couple of clear pictures is all it takes. It helps if you send:

  • A wider photo showing the entire bath or shower tray
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • Details of any past repairs
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

To get a price, send two or three pictures through our quote form or ring us. We will tell you honestly whether it can be repaired.

How it works

You don’t need to empty the room beforehand. Everything we use comes in the van with us, put protection down and get going once we’ve agreed what we are doing. Most jobs take a morning or an afternoon, and you’re welcome to carry on with your day while we work.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us about parking, stairs or access
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

How to get a price

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 to us. What comes back is a fixed price, not a guess.
