Non-slip bath coating near Ashbank

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Ashbank

The coating is clear and textured, so the bath looks much the same. It’s popular with homes with older or less mobile people, holiday lets and families. Whether it’s bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten and a bath or tray that is slippery when wet, we can generally put it right, whatever the material.

Whatever the size of the job, you get the same one-year guarantee in Ashbank and across Kent. Clean with a soft brush and a mild cleaner. Avoid scourers on the coating.

Repair or replace: which is better?

The alternatives are replacing the bath or tray with a textured one, or a bath mat that needs lifting and cleaning. A coating adds grip to the bath you have. Most people are surprised how affordable a repair is, especially compared with replacing and refitting. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

DIY repairs versus a professional job

You can buy a DIY kit for most repairs, and they can make a small mark look better. The trouble is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface isn’t prepared the repair will not last.

For a hairline mark somewhere you’ll never see, a kit may be enough. For anything you look at every day, anything that has rusted, cracked or holed, or anything on a coloured surface, it’s worth having it done properly.

How the visit works

From the moment we arrive, we keep the work contained to the one room. Surfaces nearby are masked off, the job takes a few hours, depending on what we find, and we finish by cleaning up and talking you through the result.

  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. We lift the masking for a clean edge.
  5. Once it has cured, normally overnight, it’s ready.

Before we arrive

  • Tell us if there are stairs or a lift
  • Keep children and pets away from the room on the day
  • Keep a parking space free if you can

Pricing is simple: take a close-up of the damage and a photo from further back, send them to us with your postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price. There is no charge for the quote and you’re under no obligation.

Advice

Signs you need non-slip bath coating in Ashbank

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

The things clients normally mention when they call are:

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

What to look for in a quote

  • How to care for the finish
  • Whether cleaning and preparation are in the price
  • What happens if the damage is worse than the photos show
  • What protection goes down before work starts

Our hiring checklist

What affects the price in Ashbank

There are no hourly rates or hidden extras. The price is based on:

  • How much damage there is
  • Unusual colours or finishes
  • Whether we combine several jobs
  • What kind of damage it is

Rather than charging by the hour, we fix the price before we start. Damage, material and access decide it, and doing several items at once reduces it.

Send photos for a quote

Photographing the damage takes a minute, and it saves a visit. Please include:

  • Something in shot to show the size
  • Any details about the material
  • A clear, close picture of the problem area
  • The postcode, so we can plan the visit

Email us pictures of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your ME17 postcode, and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Your questions about non-slip bath coating in Ashbank

I’m a tenant. Can you help?

Of course. Check with your landlord; we can send the quote to them too.

How do I clean it?

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

Can you price it without visiting?

Typically, yes. A close-up and a wider photo are enough to give a fixed price.

Can pets and children be at home?

Please keep children and pets out of the room during the visit and until it has cured. Everywhere else in the home is fine.

Does someone need to be in?

We need someone to let us in. You do not need to watch us work.

Do you charge for travel?

There is no separate call-out charge. The fixed quote covers the visit and the work.

When can you do it?

It depends on the time of year and where you are. Send pictures with your postcode and we will reply with the earliest dates.

Will a non-slip coating change how my bath looks?

Very little: it shows as a matt area where you stand.

For landlords and businesses

For developers and builders, we fix damage before handover, so there’s no need to replace a damaged item at the last minute. Several plots can be done in one visit to keep costs down.

Hotels, guest houses and holiday lets cannot afford rooms out of action for long, so most of our work is done in a single visit. We can work around your bookings.

What a repair can’t fix

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

If in doubt, send pictures and we will say what we think before booking.

What we work on

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