About our non-slip bath coating in West Mersea
The coating is clear and textured, 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 are dealing with bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and safety for older or less mobile people, we can usually put it right, whatever the material.
All our work is covered by a one-year guarantee, wherever you are in Essex. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Can I fix it myself?
Kits are cheap and easy to find, but many of the jobs we do start with putting right a DIY repair. Doing it properly first is usually the cheaper route.
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.
When a repair is not the answer
A repair is not always the answer, and we would rather say so up front. Repairs won’t solve:
- 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
- Wet room floors (ask us)

What else we do in West Mersea
How we price non-slip bath coating
We price every job individually. The main factors are:
- The material
- Access to the area
- How many areas need work
- Whether it’s a chip, crack, burn or wear
We do not add extras on the day. The price we quote from your pictures is the price you pay, unless the damage turns out to be different, in which case we talk to you first.
Quotes from your photos
When you take your photos, these tips help us give you a firm price:
- One picture of the whole bath or shower tray
- Any details about the material
- Any earlier repairs or coatings
- A close-up of the damage, in focus
Getting a quote takes a couple of minutes: photograph the damage, then the entire bath or shower tray, include your postcode and send them over. You will get a fixed quote, not an estimate.
Why repair rather than replace?
Instead, you could go for 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. A repair normally costs much less than people expect, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.
