What we do, step by step

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a morning or an afternoon. The room is left tidy and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. The clear textured coating is applied.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive
  • Open a window if you can
  • Let us know which floor the room is on

Advice

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Runwell

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Our repair technicians work on shower trays, wet room floors (ask us) and resurfaced baths, and common reasons people contact us are safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

All our work 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.

Landlords, agents and businesses in Runwell

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets can’t afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams. A repair avoids taking out and refitting, which is easier on the people living there.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Runwell

Which areas do you work in?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your photos and we will confirm dates.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

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

Is it messy?

Dust sheets and masking go down before we start, and tidy up before we leave.

What happens if you find more damage?

It’s rare, but if it happens we talk to you first. The price only changes if you agree.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Generally, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it is not worth repairing, we’ll tell you.

Can you repair something that’s been repaired before?

Generally, yes. The old repair comes out first, so let us know about it.

Can you price it without visiting?

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

DIY repairs versus a professional job

It’s tempting to reach for a kit, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is typically cheaper.

We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The risk is that a kit repair hides the damage for a while, then fails, and then the old filler has to be removed first.

What a repair cannot fix

It helps to know what we cannot do:

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

If in doubt, send photos and we will say what we think.

Materials we work on in Runwell

  • Shower trays
  • Acrylic baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Enamelled baths

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are 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. It helps to know what pushes a price up or down: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Send pictures and you’ll get a fixed figure.
