Non-slip bath coating in Aylesham

How we handle non-slip bath coating in Aylesham

It’s popular with older people, families and holiday lets. It’s a clear, textured coating, so it shows only as a slightly matt area where you stand. Common call-outs are for safety for older or less mobile people and resurfaced baths that are now too smooth, across wet room floors (ask us), shower trays and resurfaced baths.

The work is guaranteed for twelve months. If there is a problem with the repair within the year, we return and sort it. A soft brush and mild cleaner keep it clean. Avoid scourers on the coating.

When to call us in Aylesham

Smooth surfaces are easy to clean, yet wet, soapy surfaces are slippery. Textured areas on older baths wear smooth too.

It’s worth getting a quote if you see:

  • Resurfaced baths that are now too smooth
  • Safety for older or less mobile people
  • A bath or tray that is slippery when wet
  • Bath mats that harbour mould or get forgotten

What to look for in a quote

  • The length of the guarantee and what it covers
  • Whether they match the colour on site
  • What preparation is included
  • Whether a trained technician does the job

Our hiring checklist

Should I try a DIY kit first?

DIY kits are sold for most surfaces, and they can make a small mark look better. Where they fall down is colour and preparation: they come in a handful of shades, and if the surface is not prepared the repair won’t last.

If you are set on a kit, follow its instructions closely and work on a clean, dry surface, and give it the full curing time. If it fails, we can still put it right.

How we price non-slip bath coating

There’s no area surcharge for Aylesham. The price reflects:

  • How many areas need work
  • How hard the colour is to match
  • How many items we do on one visit
  • Where the damage is and how we get to it

Compared with replacing, a repair is typically a fraction of the price, because there is no removal, plumbing or making good. Your fixed quote shows exactly what’s included.

Quotes from your photos

Before you send pictures, these tips help us give you a firm price:

  • What it’s made of, if you know
  • Daylight if possible, and no flash reflection
  • Any earlier repairs or coatings
  • Where you are, by postcode

The quickest way to a price is to send a couple of photos through our quote form or call us. We’ll tell you honestly if a repair is the right fix.

Work for landlords and builders

We regularly work with letting and managing agents. Send the address, pictures and access details.

If you manage property in Aylesham, we can repair and quote for several addresses together. Just send photos for each address and we’ll come back with a combined price.

Repair or replace: which is better?

Instead, you could go for a new textured bath or tray, or a bath mat, which traps water and needs cleaning. A coating treats your existing bath or tray. A repair usually costs much less than people expect, particularly next to the cost of replacement. Photos let us give you the exact figure.

The process

We begin by going over the job with you. Then the area is sheeted and masked and we start. You can expect it to take a morning or an afternoon, and we’ll tell you if anything changes.

  1. First the standing area is cleaned and degreased.
  2. The area to be treated is masked out.
  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

  • Clear toiletries, mats and anything else from around the area
  • Open a window if you can
  • Avoid using the area for a few hours before we arrive

How to get a price

Email us photos of the damage and a wider shot of the entire item, with your CT3 postcode, and we’ll reply with a fixed price.
