About our non-slip bath coating in Stanstead Abbotts
The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can normally put it right, on resurfaced baths, acrylic baths and shower trays alike.
Every job is backed for twelve months, and the guarantee is the same wherever you live. If something goes wrong with the work, we come back. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
A kit can be fine for a tiny mark out of sight. For damage in plain view, cracks, holes or rust, or coloured finishes, it’s worth having it done properly.
We understand the appeal of fixing it yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs frequently look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
Repair or replace: which is better?
Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. Rather than charging by the hour, we price the entire job up front. Damage, material and access decide it, and combining items on one visit brings it down.

For landlords and businesses
For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit.
We work for landlords, letting agents and housing providers in Stanstead Abbotts as well as householders. A repair between tenants keeps the property empty for less time, and it normally costs far less than a refit.
What happens on the day
The work is clean and fairly quiet, so you can carry on at home. We protect the area first, then the job itself takes a morning or an afternoon. Before we leave, we explain how soon it can be used and how to care for it.
- We clean and degrease the standing area.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the area around the damage
- Mention any parking restrictions or tricky access

Questions from Stanstead Abbotts
Is repairing better than replacing?
Typically, if the item is otherwise sound. A repair avoids removal and making good. We will tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.
Will I see the coating?
Only slightly: the treated area looks slightly matt.
Do you come to Stanstead Abbotts?
We do. We send a technician to Stanstead Abbotts for every job, and the price is the same as everywhere else.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Keep pets and children away from the work area on the day.
Can I add another job to the visit?
Yes, and it’s often cheaper. Send pictures of everything together and we’ll quote them together.
What happens once I’ve sent pictures?
We look at the photos and reply with a fixed price and some dates. If anything’s unclear, we’ll ask for another photo.
Is it messy?
No. The work area is masked and covered, and we leave the room clean.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
The exact price depends on the damage, so we quote from photos. You know the full cost before anything is booked.
