About our non-slip bath coating in Stapleford Abbotts
The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. Typical jobs include a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and acrylic baths.
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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

Questions from Stapleford Abbotts
Can you quote from photos?
In nearly every case. We only ask to see it in person if the photos cannot show what we need.
What does non-slip bath coating cost?
Every job gets a fixed price based on photos of the damage. Send a close-up and a picture of the whole item with your RM4 postcode.
Is it OK to have pets in the house?
Just keep them out of the work area. We’ll let you know when it’s safe to use again.
Do you work for landlords and businesses?
We do, regularly. We quote for multiple addresses and fit around tenancy changeovers.
Can you redo someone else’s repair?
Generally, yes. Let us know what was used before and we’ll plan for it.
What happens after I send pictures?
We come back with a fixed quote. You’re under no obligation.
How do I clean it?
Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.
What areas do you cover?
All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. There is no extra charge for travel.
What affects the price in Stapleford Abbotts
You’ll know the full cost before booking. We take into account:
- Any earlier repairs that need removing first
- The colour and finish to match
- The material and finish
- The type of damage
Our prices are the same across the UK, so there’s no premium for Stapleford Abbotts. The job itself decides the price: the material, the amount of damage and how many items.

What we can’t put right

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.
Materials we work on in Stapleford Abbotts
- Enamelled baths
- Resurfaced baths
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Acrylic baths

How the visit works
We turn up at the time we agreed with you, introduces themselves and checks the damage against your pictures first. The floor and nearby surfaces are covered before any work starts. Most visits take a few hours, and the room is left clean and tidy.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- The area to be treated is masked out.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We remove the masking for a neat edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Keep a parking space free if you can
- Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
- Mention if the room is upstairs or in a flat
How to get a price
Call 0345 017 0787 or use the quote form. With a clear picture of the damage and one of the entire bath or shower tray, we can price the job the same day in most cases.
Advice
Can I fix it myself?
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.
What a professional repair adds is preparation, colour matching and finishing. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
Common problems we fix in Stapleford Abbotts
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
If you can see any of these, send us a picture:
- Worn-out textured areas
- Safety for older or less mobile people
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
What to look for in a quote

- How your room will be protected
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- Whether the colour is mixed to match
