About our non-slip bath coating in South Stifford

It suits older people, families and holiday lets. The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with worn-out textured areas and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Every repair is covered by our one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Thurrock. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

How the visit works

Visits start with a quick look at the job together, so you know exactly what we’re doing. Next, we cover and mask everything nearby and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, typically overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Have a window or extractor fan available
  • Mention any earlier repairs or resurfacing
  • Point us to the nearest place to park

Advice

Repairing versus replacing in South Stifford

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. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with nothing added on the day.

Why us?

  • Same prices wherever you are
  • Accredited with CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor
  • We come to you, anywhere in the UK
  • We’ll tell you if it’s not worth repairing

Take a look at our prices page.

What non-slip bath coating costs

You won’t pay by the hour. The price depends on:

  • The colour and finish to match
  • The material and finish
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it
  • How many areas need work

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. You get a fixed quote from your photos, so you know the cost before you book.

Getting a price from photos

Good photos mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:

  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • Any details about the material
  • Your postcode, so we can check dates
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them over with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed quote. Quotes are free and no obligation.

Common questions in South Stifford

Which areas do you work in?

Everywhere in the UK, South Stifford included. Travel is included in the price.

Does someone need to be in?

Someone needs to let us in and show us the job. After that, you can carry on with your day.

How do I clean it?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Will there be a smell?

It depends on the job, but frequently a little. Ventilation keeps it to a minimum, and it soon fades.

How soon can you come?

That depends on our diary for your area. We will offer you dates when we send your quote.

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Yes, but check with your landlord or agent first. Landlords are frequently glad to have it sorted before the end of a tenancy.

Will it make a mess?

No. The work area is masked and covered, and we take our waste away with us.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in South Stifford

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we are asked about most:

  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Worn-out textured areas
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

Questions to ask before you book

  • How long the guarantee is and what it covers
  • Whether the colour is mixed to match
  • When it can be used again
  • Whether there are any call-out or travel charges

10 questions to ask before you book

Can I fix it myself?

Kits are cheap and easy to find, but the repairs we redo most often are DIY ones that have discoloured or lifted. Doing it properly first is normally the cheaper route.

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