Non-slip bath & shower coating in The Green, Essex

Non-slip bath coating in The Green without replacing anything
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 worn-out textured areas, we can normally put it right.
You are covered after we leave: each job carries a one-year guarantee, and we’ll explain exactly what it covers when we quote. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Landlords, agents and businesses in The Green
Hospitality businesses need rooms back in use quickly, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We will fit around changeovers where we can.
Letting agents frequently send us pictures straight from the inventory. That means we can quote before you even visit the property, and we can arrange access with the tenant directly if that helps.
How it works
On the day itself, there’s little for you to do. Show us the job, point us to the room, and we’ll take it from there. Most visits take a few hours.
- We start by degreasing the area where you stand.
- Next we mask off the area.
- The clear textured coating is applied.
- We lift the masking for a clean edge.
- Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about any previous repairs or coatings
- Tell us about parking, stairs or access
- Keep pets and children out of the room while we work

Advice
Places near The Green
What else we do in The Green
How we price non-slip bath coating
We give every job a fixed price from photos. This is what makes a difference:
- Unusual colours or finishes
- The size and number of damaged areas
- What kind of damage it is
- Whether old repairs or coatings need taking off
A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book, with no extras added later.
Getting a price from photos
You can take the photos on your phone. Ensure they show:
- A coin beside the damage so we can judge size
- The material, if you know it
- Whether it’s been repaired or coated before
- Natural light rather than flash
Upload photos of the damage and one of the whole item, with your CM8 postcode, and we will reply with a fixed price.
Common questions in The Green
Can landlords book you?
Yes. We work for landlords, agents, builders and businesses as well as homeowners across Essex.
Will I see the coating?
Very little: the treated area looks slightly matt.
What happens after I send pictures?
You’ll get a fixed quote back. There’s no obligation to book.
Do I have to be there?
Yes. We need access to the room while we work, at a time that suits you.
Is the work guaranteed?
All our work carries a one-year guarantee. We’ll explain what it covers when we quote.
Can you price it without visiting?
Nearly always. We only ask to see it in person if the photos can’t show what we need.
Are you accredited?
Yes. Our accreditations include CHAS, Constructionline and SafeContractor. See our accreditations page for the full list.
Will there be a smell?
A little, depending on the job. Open windows and an extractor fan help.
What we can’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things a repair will not 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.
What we work on
- Shower trays
- Wet room floors (ask us)
- Resurfaced baths
- Enamelled baths
- Acrylic baths

Can I fix it myself?
A DIY attempt isn’t a disaster. We remove the old filler and start again, so it will not stop us repairing it. It does add a little time, so tell us about it when you send pictures.
If you do try a kit, read the instructions carefully and work on a clean, dry surface, and don’t use it until it has fully cured. If it does not work out, we can still repair it properly.
Common problems we fix in The Green
Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, but wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.
People generally call us when they notice one of these:
- Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
- A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
- Worn-out textured areas
- Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
Comparing quotes
- What the guarantee covers, and for how long
- Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
- How soon you can use it again
- What protection goes down before work starts
Should you replace it?
The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. The price depends on the type and amount of damage, the material and how many items we do on one visit. We give a fixed quote from your pictures, so there are no surprises on the day.
