  • Surfaces that are already damaged or peeling (these need repairing first)
  • Textured areas still wet or recently cleaned with oily products
  • Outdoor surfaces

Non-slip bath coating in Tolleshunt D'Arcy, done in place

It suits homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. It’s a clear, textured coating, so the bath looks much the same. We’re frequently asked to fix worn-out textured areas and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, across shower trays, resurfaced baths and enamelled baths.

We stand behind the work with a one-year guarantee, so you are not left on your own once we have gone. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Do not use abrasive pads on the textured area.

What we do, step by step

Here’s how a visit normally runs: we arrive on time, protect everything around the work area, do the job and tidy away. Allow a morning or an afternoon from start to finish. Before leaving, we tell you how long to leave it and how to care for it.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. We mask out the area to be treated.
  3. We apply the clear textured coating.
  4. The masking comes off to leave a neat edge.
  5. The coating is left to cure before use, normally overnight.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Keep pets and children out of the room while we work
  • Let us know about parking or access
  • Make sure the area is dry

Questions from Tolleshunt D'Arcy

What do you need from me?

Just pictures, your postcode and a contact number. On the day, access to the room.

Will you leave a mess?

We protect the room with dust sheets and masking first, and tidy up before we leave.

Which areas do you work in?

All of Essex, and the rest of the UK. Travel is included in the price.

Is a non-slip bath easy to clean?

Yes. A soft brush and mild cleaner is all it needs.

Is it safe with children and pets around?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit. The rest of the house is unaffected.

Do you come to Tolleshunt D'Arcy?

We do. Technicians travel to Tolleshunt D'Arcy from across the region, and the price is the same as everywhere else.

Can you do more than one item on the same visit?

Yes. Combining jobs on one visit brings the cost down. Send photos of everything you’d like done.

Do you hold any accreditations?

We hold CHAS, Constructionline, SafeContractor, SMAS Worksafe and Builder’s Profile accreditations.

Can I fix it myself?

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, and the work is guaranteed.

If you’ve already tried a DIY fix, that’s fine. We take the old repair out and do it properly, so it doesn’t stop a professional repair. Just mention it when you send pictures, as it can add time.

Prices and what affects them

There’s no area surcharge for Tolleshunt D'Arcy. What changes the price is:

  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Any earlier repairs that need removing first
  • Access to the area
  • What the surface is made of

A repair typically costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

Quotes from your pictures

Photographing the damage takes a minute. Please include:

  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A coin or ruler next to the damage for scale
  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • One picture of the whole bath or shower tray

Getting a price is easy: take a close-up of the damage and a picture from further back, send them over with your postcode, and you’ll get a fixed quote back. Quotes are free and no obligation.
