About our non-slip bath coating in Tendring
It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. If you’re dealing with safety for older or less mobile people and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can typically put it right, on wet room floors (ask us), resurfaced baths and shower trays alike.
Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Tendring and across Essex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

DIY repairs versus a professional job
DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can tidy up a tiny mark. The trouble is colour and preparation: kits come in a few standard shades, and without proper cleaning and keying the filler frequently lifts.
The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We prepare the area properly, mix the colour on site and polish the finish to match, then guarantee it for a year.
What happens on the day
Here’s how a visit usually runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a few hours from start to finish. Before we go, we will explain how long to leave it and what to avoid for the first few days.
- First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
- We mask out the area to be treated.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
- We leave it to cure, normally overnight.
Getting ready for the visit
- Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
How to get a price
The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos using our quote form or call us. We will say straight away whether it can be repaired.
Advice
What non-slip bath coating costs
You won’t pay by the hour. The price is based on:
- How many items we do on one visit
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- The material and finish
Set against the cost of replacement, repairing generally costs far less, because nothing has to be taken out, refitted or made good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.
Getting a price from photos
It only takes a minute to photograph the damage, and it saves a visit. Please include:
- The postcode, so we can plan the visit
- The material, if you know it
- A clear, close picture of the problem area
- Something in shot to show the size
No survey visit is needed: we price from pictures. Use the quote form, or ring 0345 017 0787 to talk it through, and you will get a fixed figure back.

What else we do in Tendring
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. A repair generally costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
