About our non-slip bath coating in Sewards End

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. We regularly repair enamelled baths, shower trays and wet room floors (ask us), and the jobs we see most are a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth.

You’re covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we explain what it covers before you book. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Common questions in Sewards End

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You don’t need to watch us work.

Are you accredited?

We’re accredited with CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. Replacement brings removal, refitting and making good, which a repair avoids. If it isn’t worth repairing, we will tell you.

What areas do you cover?

The whole UK, including all of Essex. Send your postcode with your pictures and we’ll confirm dates.

Do you cover Sewards End?

Yes. We work across the UK and come to Sewards End and the rest of Essex. Send us photos for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

Will I see the coating?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Can I add another job to the visit?

Yes. Doing several items on one visit usually costs less than separate visits. Include pictures of each item.

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Sewards End?

Every job gets a fixed quote based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item and your postcode.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A few things move the price: access, material, the extent of the damage and whether we can do several items together. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Why book with us

  • We leave the room as we found it
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • One visit for most repairs
  • One price list for the entire UK

See our full price list.

When we’d advise against a repair

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

If in doubt, send photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

Surfaces we repair

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

What affects the price in Sewards End

We do not charge extra for travel to Sewards End. The price depends on:

  • Access to the area
  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Previous DIY repairs that have to come out
  • How hard the colour is to match

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Getting a price from pictures

Two or three clear pictures are normally enough. Try to include:

  • A close-up of the damage, in focus
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • A picture taken from further back
  • What it’s made of, if you know

To get a price, send a couple of pictures through our quote form or call us. We will tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

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 remove the old filler and start again, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

What happens on the day

The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can stay at home while we’re there. We protect the area first, then the work takes a morning or an afternoon. At the end we talk you through the curing time and the aftercare.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

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