How we handle non-slip bath coating in Southchurch

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. If you are dealing with a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right, on enamelled baths, resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.

We guarantee the work for a year. If something isn’t right in that time, we come back and put it right. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Questions from Southchurch

Is my repair covered?

All our work carries a one-year guarantee. Ask us what it covers when you get your quote.

Do you do work for letting agents?

Yes. We carry out repairs for homeowners, landlords, letting agents, builders and businesses in Southchurch.

How quickly can you book me in?

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

Do you cover Southchurch?

Yes. We cover the whole UK and come to Southchurch and the rest of Southend-on-Sea. Send us pictures for a fixed quote, or call 0345 017 0787.

It’s been repaired before. Can you still fix it?

Most of the time. Let us know what was used before.

Can you quote from pictures?

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

Are there extra charges for Southchurch?

We do not add a call-out fee. Your fixed price includes everything.

Will the price change on the day?

Your quote covers the damage in the photos. If there’s more, we’ll tell you before starting.

What we cannot put right

Not everything can be repaired, and we’d rather say so up front. We cannot fix:

  • 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 before booking.

Surfaces we repair

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

How we price non-slip bath coating

Each job gets its own fixed quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
  • Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear

No two jobs are quite the same, so we price each one individually. The size and type of damage, the material and access all play a part, and doing several things on one visit costs less than separate visits.

Getting a price from pictures

When you take your photos, a few simple things make all the difference:

  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Where you are, by postcode
  • The material, if you know it
  • A coin beside the damage so we can judge size

There is no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: we need a close-up, a wider picture and your postcode, and we will come back to you with a fixed figure.

Can I fix it myself?

For a hairline mark somewhere you will never see, a kit may be enough. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, a professional repair is worth it.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it does not stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send photos, as it can add time.

Should you replace it?

The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A few things move the price: the amount of damage, the material, access to the area, and how many jobs we do in one trip. Photos let us give you a fixed figure.

Work for landlords and builders

Builders use us to fix snagging damage before handover, saving last-minute replacements. We can visit several plots in one trip to keep costs down.

Rental properties take more wear, and replacing things at every changeover adds up. Repairing between tenants keeps the property presentable for less.

What we do, step by step

On the day, the technician arrives at the agreed time, protects the room with dust sheets and masking and gets started. Expect it to take a morning or an afternoon. We tidy up before we leave and let you know when you can use it again.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. Next we mask off the area.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We remove the masking for a neat edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

How to prepare

  • Let the surface dry out before the visit
  • Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
  • Let us know about parking or access
