Non-slip bath coating for Writtle homes

Non-slip bath coating at your home in Writtle

The coating is clear and textured, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. It suits older people, families and holiday lets. Whether it’s a bath or tray that is slippery when wet and worn-out textured areas, we can usually 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. Don’t use abrasive pads on the textured area.

When we would advise against a repair

Some problems need a builder, plumber or fitter rather than us:

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

Send us pictures and we’ll tell you honestly.

Materials we repair

  • Enamelled baths
  • Wet room floors (ask us)
  • Shower trays
  • Resurfaced baths
  • Acrylic baths

Prices and what affects them

We give every job a fixed quote from pictures. This is what makes a difference:

  • The size and number of damaged areas
  • Access to the area
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • Doing more than one item at once

Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Send photos and we’ll give you the exact figure.

Send pictures for a quote

The better the pictures, the more accurate the price. Here’s what we find most useful:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Good light, ideally daylight, without flash glare
  • A close-up of the damage, in focus

There’s no need for us to visit first. Photos are enough for us to price nearly every job: send a close-up, a wider shot and your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.

Do you need non-slip bath coating in Writtle?

Baths and trays are made smooth so they’re easy to clean, but with soap and water on them they become slippery. The textured patch on an older bath also wears down over time.

These are the problems we’re asked about most:

  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten
  • Worn-out textured areas

Comparing quotes

  • How the room is protected while they work
  • A fixed quote, and whether VAT is included
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • When it can be used again

Choosing a repair company

Landlord and trade work in Writtle

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so we keep visits short and tidy. We can work around your bookings.

We carry out planned and one-off repairs for housing associations and facilities teams in Essex and across the UK. Repairing in place avoids the disruption of a replacement, which is easier on the people living there.

The process

Arrival times are agreed in advance, so you’re not left guessing. Once we’re there, the work takes a few hours in most cases. We leave the room clean and ready to use once it has cured.

  1. We clean and degrease the standing area.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  3. We put on the clear non-slip coating.
  4. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. We leave it to cure, generally overnight.

Before we arrive

  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Let us know which floor the room is on
  • Have a window or extractor fan available

Advice

Writtle questions

Do you work for landlords and businesses?

We do, regularly. We can quote for several properties together and work between tenancies.

What happens once I’ve sent pictures?

We check the damage, the material and your postcode, then reply with a quote and the next dates we have.

How quickly can you book me in?

That depends on our diary for your area. Send photos with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

How do I clean it?

Yes. Use a soft brush and a mild cleaner.

Is a repair better than a new one?

Normally, when the rest is in good condition. Repairing avoids the cost and disruption of replacing. We’ll tell you honestly if replacement makes more sense.

What information do you need?

A close-up, a wider photo and your postcode. After that, we just agree a date.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes, for a year. If there’s a problem with the work in that time, we come back and put it right.

Will there be a smell?

There can be some smell while we work, which is why we ventilate. It fades as everything cures.

Repairing versus replacing in Writtle

Instead, you could go for replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or relying on a mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A non-slip coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair is priced on what needs doing, not where you live. The full price is agreed before you book.

What you get with us

  • A fixed quote before you book
  • A year’s guarantee on all work
  • Technicians who travel to you, UK-wide
  • Everything repaired in place

DIY repairs versus a professional job

The difference between a kit and a professional repair is mostly in the preparation and colour. We clean and key the area properly, mix the colour to your surface and finish it to the same sheen, and the work is guaranteed.

It’s natural to want to try a repair yourself. The trouble is that kit repairs often look fine at first and then fail, and the old filler has to come out before a proper repair.
