Non-slip bath coating at your home in Shalmsford Street

It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Typical jobs include bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, on wet room floors (ask us), acrylic baths and resurfaced baths.

Your repair is guaranteed for a year, as with every job we do. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?

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.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it doesn’t work out, we can still repair it properly.

Shalmsford Street questions

How do I get a price for non-slip bath coating in Shalmsford Street?

The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from pictures. You know the full cost before anything is booked.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is repairing better than replacing?

In most cases, yes. A repair skips the removal, fitting and redecorating. If it is not worth repairing, we will tell you.

Can you repair several things at once?

Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.

How soon can you come?

Your quote comes with available dates. If it’s urgent, say so and we will do what we can.

What if the damage is worse than the photos show?

We will show you and explain before doing anything extra. Nothing extra is done without your say-so.

Is my repair covered?

Every repair comes with our one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.

Is it messy?

Very little mess: we sheet and mask everything nearby, and we take our waste away with us.

Why repair rather than replace?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. Our prices are the same across the UK, so there is no premium for Shalmsford Street. The job itself decides the price: how much damage, what it’s made of and how many items.

Why book with us

  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • CHAS and Constructionline accredited
  • Everything repaired in place
  • A fixed quote before you book

See our prices page.

Honest limits

We will not take on work that won’t last, so these are the limits:

  • 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.

Materials we work on in Shalmsford Street

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

For landlords and businesses

If you manage property in Shalmsford Street, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Send photos for each one and we’ll price them together.

We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Shalmsford Street as well as householders. Repairing between tenancies keeps void periods short, and it typically costs far less than a refit.

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • What kind of damage it is
  • Access to the area
  • Doing more than one item at once

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

How to get a fixed quote

Before you send photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Natural light rather than flash
  • One picture of the entire bath or shower tray
  • Something in shot to show the size

Getting a price is easy: snap the damage close up and then the whole item, send them over with your postcode, and you will get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and you’re under no obligation.

How the visit works

It’s a tidy, low-fuss visit. We agree the arrival time in advance, cover and mask the work area, then carry out the work, which usually takes a few hours. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.

  1. We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Ensure the area is dry
  • Point us to the nearest place to park
