Non-slip bath coating in Row Heath

Non-slip bath coating in Row Heath, done in place

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. We work on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays, 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.

All our work is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

What happens on the day

We turn up when we said we would and looks over the damage before anything else. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. The work itself takes a few hours, and we leave the room as we found it.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, usually overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Move bottles, mats and clutter away from the area
  • Make sure the room can be ventilated
  • Let us know about parking or access

10 questions to ask before you book

DIY kit or professional repair?

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

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Row Heath

Can you redo someone else’s repair?

Typically, yes. The old repair comes out first, so mention it when you send photos.

Can tenants book a repair?

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

What happens after I send pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Row Heath?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up of the damage and a wider photo with your CO16 postcode.

What information do you need?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, we only need access to the room.

Do you charge for travel?

No. Our quotes include travel, and we charge the same wherever you are.

Do the materials smell?

Expect a mild smell while we are working.

Can I get a quote without a visit?

Yes, almost always. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Should you replace it?

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 non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. We charge the same wherever you are, with no extra for Row Heath. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip.

Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we liaise with tenants about access if you’d like us to.

What non-slip bath coating costs

There is no area surcharge for Row Heath. What changes the price is:

  • How many items we do on one visit
  • How easy the damage is to reach
  • The material
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out

Set against the cost of replacement, repairing normally costs far less, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Send photos for a quote

You can take the photos on your phone, there’s no need for anything special. Just make sure we can see:

  • One sharp close-up of the damage
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit
  • A photo taken from further back
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With one close-up and one wider picture, we can price the job.

Honest limits

In fairness, some problems need a different fix:

  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces
