Non-slip bath coating at your home in Southend
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. If you are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can help, whatever the material.
You get a one-year guarantee, the same in Southend as everywhere else we work. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Southend
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet with soap and water on them they become slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.
Keep an eye out for these signs:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet

Work for landlords and builders
We regularly price jobs from inventory or check-out photos. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.

What affects the price in Southend
There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price depends on:
- Where the damage is and how we get to it
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The material and finish
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not your postcode. The full price is agreed before booking, with no extras added later.
Send photos for a quote
Good pictures mean an accurate price. Here’s what helps:
- Something in shot to show the size
- A picture taken from further back
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Natural light rather than flash
If you are in Southend and want a price, photos are the quickest way: a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode. We reply with a fixed quote and our next available dates.
DIY repairs versus a professional job
You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Getting it right first time is normally cheaper.
How it works
Expect a friendly, tidy visit. We confirm the time with you beforehand, protect the area, and get on with the job, which normally takes a morning or an afternoon. If we find something your pictures didn’t show, we’ll explain it before carrying on.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- We put on the clear non-slip coating.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Clear the area around the damage
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Let us know if it has been repaired before

Advice
Questions from Southend
Is there any odour?
Some materials have a smell while they’re applied, so we ventilate the room. It fades as everything cures.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
Yes, often. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.
How much does non-slip bath coating cost in Southend?
Because every job differs, we price from photos. You will get a fixed figure before booking.
Is there a guarantee?
Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.
What do you need from me?
Photos of the damage, a picture of the whole bath or shower tray and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.
Can you do more than one item on the same visit?
Yes, and it’s frequently cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and you’ll get one combined price.
I’m a tenant. Can you help?
Yes, though it’s best to check with your landlord first. Many landlords are happy for a repair to be arranged before the end of a tenancy.
Repair or replace in Southend?
The alternatives are a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. There are no surprise extras on the day. What we quote from your pictures is what you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
